How to play Long Walk: key, chords and progression

Long Walk by Brandy Clark is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 6 chords in all: C, Am, F, E7, G and Em.

Most of the song cycles through Am – C – Em – F (vi – I – iii – IV in C major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – mi – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
