How to play Follow Me: key, chords and progression

Follow Me by Chicago is centred on E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). The song uses 40 chords: Eb, Cm7, Db, Ab, A, F#m7, Dsus2, E, D/A, Dbsus4, Bb and F/C and 28 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Eb – Cm7 – Db – Ab (I – vi7 – ♭VII – IV in E♭ major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Eb, Cm7, Db, Ab and F#m7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
