How to play Someday: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Someday by OneRepublic on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Someday by OneRepublic is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: Am, F, C and G.

The backbone of the song is Am – F – C – G (vi – IV – I – V in C major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. 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 Em, C, G, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
