How to play Allergic: key, chords and progression

Allergic by Post Malone is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 7 chords: C, Am, F, G, Em, Ab and D.

Listen for G – C – Am – Ab (V – I – vi – ♭VI in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F and Ab are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
