How to play Attention: key, chords and progression

Attention by ulrikke keeps coming home to E minor (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: Em, G, C, D, Am and F.

Listen for Em – G – C – Em (i – III – VI – i in E 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 almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
