How to play Mother Natures Song: key, chords and progression
These are Mother Natures Song chords by Liam Gallagher & John Squire on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Mother Natures Song by Liam Gallagher & John Squire keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 4 chords: B, E, F#m and A.
Most of the song cycles through B – A – E – A (V – IV – I – IV in E major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes A, D, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
