How to play Like A God: key, chords and progression

These are Like A God chords by The Weeknd on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Like A God by The Weeknd is built around A minor (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: Em, Am and C.

Listen for Em – Am – C – Am (v – i – III – i in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
