How to play Not Losing You: key, chords and progression

Not Losing You by Maddie Poppe is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 11 chords in all: C, F, Am, G, Em, D, Gm, Fm, Dm, Cm and B.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Am – G – C (I – vi – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Gm, Fm, Cm and B 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.
