Well the winter brings the snow

It’s spring before you know

See the clouds passing by

Final chimes of a mission bell

And it is ringing into the night

To play New Until Its Old by Passenger, think in A minor (no sharps or flats). It takes 13 chords: C, F, Dm, G, Am7, Em, Am, Gsus4, G#, G7, E and D and 1 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Em – Am – F (VII – v – i – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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