How to play Lost: key, chords and progression

Lost by David Nathaniel is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: C, Cm, Gmaj7, G and Em.

The backbone of the song is C – Cm – Gmaj7 – G (I – i – Vmaj7 – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – soh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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