How to play Hypnotised: key, chords and progression

Hypnotised by Years & Years is built around E minor (one sharp: F♯), with 10 chords in all: Em, D, G, A, F#m, C, Bm, Cmaj7, B and Ebm-5.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – D – A – C (i – VII – IV – VI in E minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#m, Bm, B and Ebm-5 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
