How to play Never Grow Up: key, chords and progression

These are Never Grow Up chords by Niall Horan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Never Grow Up by Niall Horan is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 7 chords in all: G, Em, C, D, Bm, Cm and Am.

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

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