It belonged to the ex-wife of another ex of mine

“I don’t know if I’m coming across, but I’m really trying”
C
She was very kind

Fruit bat
C                                          Am
Cuter than a button, mutton-head maniac

Fruit bat
Bb                                                              F
Cuter than a button, mutton-head maniac

How to play Ladies: key, chords and progression

Ladies by Fiona Apple is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 8 chords in all: C, Am, G, Bb, F, Amv, Gm and Dm.

Most of the song cycles through C – Am – C – G (V – iii – V – II in F major). In solfa, that is soh – mi – soh – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, Em, D, F, C, Dm, Am (86% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 57% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
