How to play I’ll Buy: key, chords and progression

These are I’ll Buy chords by The Replacements on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

I’ll Buy by The Replacements is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 7 chords in all: C, G, D, E, A, F and Bb.

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

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