How to play Freeway Of Love: key, chords and progression

Freeway Of Love by Aretha Franklin is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: Am/G, G, Am/D, Dm/F, Am7, Bm7, CM9 and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am/G – G – Am/D – Dm/F (i – VII – i – iv in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm7 and CM9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
