How to play In Pieces: key, chords and progression

In Pieces by Chlöe (Chloe Bailey) is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 12 chords: G, F, Am7, C, Dbdim, Bm, Em, C/E, Cm/Eb, D/Gb, Gsus4/D and D7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – F – Am7 – G (V – IV – vi7 – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Dbdim, Bm and Cm/Eb are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
