How to play Swan Song: key, chords and progression

Listen for F – G – Am – Em (VI – VII – i – v in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, F needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
