How to play Between: key, chords and progression

Between by f.f. ivanovski is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 9 chords in all: Dm, G, C, C/B, Am, Am/G, C7, F and Fm.

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

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.
