How to play Alone Again: key, chords and progression

Alone Again by The Weeknd is in the key of E minor (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 11 chords: Am, F#m, Em, G, D, Bm, C5, G5, E5, F and C.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – Am – F#m – Em (i – iv – ii – i in E minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#m, Bm 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.
