How to play The Grants: key, chords and progression

The Grants by Lana Del Rey is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 9 chords: Am, Asus2, Asus4, E, B, A, E7, Caug and Am7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – E – Caug – A (IV – I – ♭VI – IV in E major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: B and Caug are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
