How to play Annabelle: key, chords and progression

To play Annabelle by Creeper, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 8 chords: C, E, Am, G, F, Fm, Em and D.

Listen for C – E – Am – F (I – III – vi – IV in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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