How to play Chateau Feel Alright: key, chords and progression

Chateau Feel Alright by Djo keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 8 chords: G, B, C, Cm, A, Em, Gm and A#.

Listen for G – Gm – A# – C (I – i – ♭III – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: B, Cm, Gm and A# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
