[Intro]
A G#m   F#m
D     A
A G#dim F#m
D     A

[Verse 1]
D                 A
 Stars in my eyes, hiking
 up Griffith
D          G   A
 Thinking about who was
sad and what didn't
C                Am
 Get sad in the Midwest,
  Dm                   G
 wish I could tell you now
D                   A
 I wrote you a note, but
I didn't send it
C                       Am
 'Cause that's the best method
     D                     G
the women here taught me about
C                      D     Dm
 What you don't really understand
         Dm
I've got magic in my hand,
   Em         Am
 stars in my eyes

[Verse 2]
C                         G
 What you doin' with your life?
Do you think about it?
Am                 C
 Do you contеmplate where
 we came from?
F                          C
 Lately, we've been makin' out a lot
             F
Not talkin' 'bout the stuff
              G
that's at the very heart of things
C                     Bm6
 Do you want children? Do
           E7    Am
 you wanna marry me?
                     Em
Do you wanna run marathons
                      F
in Long Beach by the sea?
I've got things to do,
like nothing at all
           G
I wanna do them with you
Do you wanna do them with me?

[Chorus]
       C
If you want someone,
           E7
then just call me up
    Am             C    Fm
And remember where I'll be
 C Bm6 Am G  F      C
Sweeeeeeeeet in barefeet
        C    Bm6 Am
You can find me  where
 G  F        C
 no one will be
       C
In the woods somewhere,
        Em
 in the night
                  A#m C7 F
In the heart of a valleeeey
        C Bm6 Am G  F          C
In the sweeeeeeeeet north country
           C      Bm6
If I'm not there, come
       Am    G  F   C
 to my house on Genesee

How to play Sweet: key, chords and progression

These are Sweet chords by Lana Del Rey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Sweet by Lana Del Rey is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 16 chords: A, G#m, F#m, D, G#dim, G, C, Am, Dm, Em, F and Bm6 and 4 more.

Listen for C – Bm6 – Am – G (IV – iii6 – ii – I in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – mi – reh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: G#m, F#m, G#dim, F and Bm6 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.
