How to play Lost In Translation: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Lost In Translation by The Neighbourhood on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Lost In Translation by The Neighbourhood sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 13 chords to play it: F, Am, G, Fm, Dm, Em, Dm7, Em7, C, Dm8, E and Gm and 1 more.

The backbone of the song is G – C – F – G (V – I – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F, Fm and Gm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
