How to play Didnt We: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Didnt We by Tracy Lawrence on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Didnt We by Tracy Lawrence is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 8 chords in all: C, Am7, F, Am, Fmaj7, G, Dm and Dm7.

Listen for F – C – G – Dm7 (IV – I – V – ii7 in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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