How to play Ring: key, chords and progression

Ring by Selena Gomez is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 3 chords: Am, F and E7.

The backbone of the song is Am – F – E7 – Am (i – VI – V7 – i in A minor). 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, B7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
