How to play A Good Night: key, chords and progression

A Good Night by John Legend is written in E minor (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 5 chords: C, Em, D, Am and G.

Listen for C – Em – D – Em (VI – i – VII – i in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
