How to play Love Song: key, chords and progression

Love Song by Lana Del Rey sits in E minor (one sharp: F♯), and you need 8 chords to play it: C, Em, D, G, Bm, D/F#, F and Am/C.

The backbone of the song is D – C – Em – D (VII – VI – i – VII in E minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm and F 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.
