How to play Reprise: key, chords and progression

Reprise by The Lumineers is centred on A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 10 chords: Am, Am/G, Am/F#, Am/F, C, Em, G, F, G6 and Fmaj7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – G – C (III – v – VII – III in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and G6 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
