How to play Sleep Well: key, chords and progression

To play Sleep Well by Kotipelto Liimatainen, think in E minor (one sharp: F♯). It takes 16 chords: Em7, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, Am7, C, G/B, C#m7, F#7add11, Asus2, Bsus4 and Cmaj7 and 4 more.

Listen for Em7 – Dsus4 – D – Dsus2 (i7 – VIIsus4 – VII – VIIsus2 in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: C#m7, F#7add11, Bsus4, Em9 and Emadd9 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.
