How to play Good Guys: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Good Guys by LANY on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Good Guys by LANY is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C9, Am7, Fmaj7 and Em7.

The backbone of the song is C9 – Am7 – Fmaj7 – C9 (I9 – vi7 – IVmaj7 – I9 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: C9 is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
