How to play Meadow: key, chords and progression

Meadow by Liam Gallagher is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 10 chords in all: G, Em, A, D, Bb, Eb, D7, Cm, F and Ab.

The backbone of the song is Em – A – D – G (vii – III – VI – II in F major). In solfa, that is te – mi – lah – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, Bb, Eb, Cm, F and Ab need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
