How to play Still Waiting: key, chords and progression

To play Still Waiting by Sum 41, think in E minor (one sharp: F♯). It takes 6 chords: Em, C, G, B, D and F.

The backbone of the song is Em – C – G – B (i – VI – III – V in E minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: B and F 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.
