How to play Everyones Gone To The Movies: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Everyones Gone To The Movies by Steely Dan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Everyones Gone To The Movies by Steely Dan is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 14 chords: D, G/C, A/D, G/D, C, F/C, F, Em7, Am7, G, F#m7 and Bm7 and 2 more.

The backbone of the song is F – F/C – Em7 – Am7 (♭VII – ♭VII – vi7 – ii7 in G major). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F/C, F, F#m7 and Bm7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
