How to play Laughing In The Wind: key, chords and progression

Laughing In The Wind by Van Morrison is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 7 chords: C, F, G, Dm, Em, F# and G7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – F – G – C (I – IV – V – I in C major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F 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.
