How to play Women Like You: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Women Like You by The Avett Brothers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Women Like You by The Avett Brothers is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 10 chords in all: G, G7, C, Am, Fm, Am/C, F, Em, Asus2 and A7.

Listen for C – G – C – F (I – V – I – IV in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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