How to play Running Up That Hill: key, chords and progression

To play Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, think in A minor (no sharps or flats). It takes 15 chords: Am, Am7, Fmaj7, Fadd9, G6, G, F, Em, C, Dm7, Dm and Dsus2 and 3 more.

The backbone of the song is Am – Am7 – Am – Fmaj7 (i – i7 – i – VImaj7 in A minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Fadd9, G6, F and Amadd11 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
