Can We Still Be Friends? by Robert Palmer is played in the key of D. Arranged in the natural sounding key of D in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Can We Still Be Friends?' by Robert Palmer utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (G/E, D/E, D/B, A/B, C/A, G/A, D/C), letting beginners concentrate on tone clarity, ringing string resonance, and sustain without encountering demanding barre finger fatigue. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between G/E and D/E: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
