How to play Grow As We Go: key, chords and progression

Grow As We Go by Ben Platt is written in F major (one flat: B♭) and moves through 9 chords: F, Fm7/E, Dm, Dm7/C, Bb, C/G, A#m, C and A.

The backbone of the song is F – Fm7/E – Dm – Dm7/C (I – i7 – vi – vi7 in F major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – lah – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F, Fm7/E, Bb and A#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
