How to play The New Day: key, chords and progression

To play The New Day by Greta Van Fleet, think in F major (one flat: B♭). It takes 5 chords: F, C, Eb, Bb and Gm.

Listen for F – C – Eb – Bb (I – V – ♭VII – IV in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, A, C, G, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 20% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
