How to play 1999: key, chords and progression

These are 1999 chords by The Wilkinsons on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

1999 by The Wilkinsons keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 14 chords: F, C, G, Am, Am7, Dm7, Gsus4, Em, Dm, Bb, A and D and 2 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – Am – G (I – V – vi – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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