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

These are Almost Like Being In Love chords by James Taylor on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Almost Like Being In Love by James Taylor is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 22 chords in all: 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 the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
