How to play Another Lifetime: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Another Lifetime by NAO on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Another Lifetime by NAO is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: F, G, C, Am, E7, Am7, Gm7 and C7.

The backbone of the song is F – C – G – Am (IV – I – V – vi in C major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, D, G, Em, B7, Em7, Dm7, G7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
