How to play Born To Run: key, chords and progression

Born To Run by Penelope Scott is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 5 chords: Am, D, G, C and Em.

Most of the song cycles through C – G – D – Em (IV – I – V – vi in G major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
