This is the chords of Hopefully by Zach Bryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
F G Am C5 G6

[Verse]
F                                        G
Well I barely know if I’ll be alive tomorrow
Am                                 C5                 G5
Let alone if the people I trust will stay
F
So what I’m needing while I’m breathing
G
Is to be content this evening
Am                 C5                 G5
And find hope in tomorrow either way

[Verse]
F                                                 G
And I don’t think those city girls are right for me
Am                                 C5                                 G5
Cause I don’t fall for shallow pleasantries
F
And the conversation’s nice,
G
But all the talking don’t seem right
Am                 C5                                 G5
To a soul that prefers silence and the trees

[Pre-Chorus]
F                                                 G
And this world’s expecting so much from the man
Am                                 C5                                               G5
Who gets so wrecked on Saturdays, that he can barely stand
F                                                 G
So if you could cut some slack, I got some good times on my lap
Am                                 C5                                 G5
And I’d like to feel them all while I still can

[Chorus]
Am                   G                               C                                 F
Cause I got hope in tomorrow and regret in yesterday
Am                 G                 C                 F
so if you could find a way to forgive me
Am                 G                                 C                                 F
Then maybe I could find just a little peace of mind
Am                 G                 C                 F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
Am                 G        C                 F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
F G Am C5 G5

[Pre-Chorus]
F                                                                 G
And this world’s expecting so much from the man
Am                                                 C5                               G5
Who gets so wrecked on Saturdays, that he can barely stand
F                                 G
So if you could cut some slack, I got some good times on my lap
Am                                 C5                                 G5
And I’d like to feel them all while I still can

[Chorus]
Am                 G                                 C                 F
Cause I got hope in tomorrow and regret in yesterday
Am                                 G                 C       F
so if you could find a way to forgive me
Am                 G                               C                 F
Then maybe I could find just a little peace of mind
Am                 G                 C                 F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
Am                 G                 C                 F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully

How to play Hopefully: key, chords and progression

Hopefully by Zach Bryan sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 7 chords to play it: F, G, Am, C5, G6, G5 and C.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – G – Am – C5 (IV – V – vi – I in C major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, D, Em, G5, D6, D5, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 71% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
