How to play Rewind: key, chords and progression

Rewind by I Fight Dragons is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 8 chords in all: C, G, F, Em, Am, Bb, B and A.

Listen for G – F – C – G (V – IV – I – V in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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