How to play Almost Like Being In Love: key, chords and progression

Almost Like Being In Love by James Taylor is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 22 chords: Dsus4, G, Em7, Am7, Bm7, C, D, D7, E7, F#m7, B7 and E and 10 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am7 – Bm7 – C – D (vi7 – vii7 – I – II in C major). In solfa, that is lah – te – doh – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm7, F#m7, B7sus, A#m7 and Cm7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
