How to play Parklands: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Parklands by Melissa Horn on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Parklands by Melissa Horn is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 7 chords in all: C, F, Dm, C/A, G, Em and Am.

The backbone of the song is F – C – C/A – F (IV – I – I – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
