How to play Fighter: key, chords and progression

Fighter by Joe Gilder keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: Am, F, C, G and Dm.

The backbone of the song is Am – F – C – G (i – VI – III – VII in A minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, D, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
