How to play Fix You: key, chords and progression

Fix You by Coldplay sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 5 chords to play it: C, Em, Am7, G and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – Am7 – G (I – iii – vi7 – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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