[Chorus]
          F#m
All these places
had
      Dmaj7
their moments

       A
But of all
these friends
    F#m
and lovers
         D  Dm
There is no  one
   A
compares with you
And these
        E/G#
memories lose
      F#m7    Em
their meaning
       D
When I think of
   Dm
love as
A
something new


[Chorus]
         F#m
Though I know
I'll never
       Dmaj7
lose affection
    G7
For people and
 things that
 A
 went before
  F#m
I know I'll often
stop and
       F#m7     B
think about them
   Dm
In my life, I'll
 A
 love you more.....

Though I know
I'll
never

lose affection
    G7
For people and
things that
A
went before

I know I'll often
stop and

think about them
   Dm
In my life, I'll

love you more

more.......
I'll love you

more

life...

 and think
 C#m7       Dm  A
about you)
All my friends,
 and my
   F#m7  C#m7
lovers
    G7
But no none
        A
compares with
 you, in my
life
(Something in
the
F#m     C#m7
way she moves)
Dm >  G >  A >

How to play In My Life: key, chords and progression

In My Life by Little River Band is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 16 chords: A, C#m7, F#m, D, Dm, E/G#, F#m7, Em, Dmaj7, G7, Bsus and B and 4 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – F#m – D – Dm (I – vi – IV – iv in A major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: C#m7, F#m, F#m7, Bsus and B are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
