How to play First Place: key, chords and progression

First Place by bülow is centred on E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). The song uses 4 chords: G#, D#, Cm and Gm.

The backbone of the song is G# – D# – Cm – Gm (IV – I – vi – iii in E♭ major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes F, C, Am, Em (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
