The Am – G – F – E chord progression

The chords Am – G – F – E do not sit inside a single major or minor key as plain triads, so this progression borrows from more than one key (or uses chromatic chords).

Which key is it in?

No single major or minor key contains all of these chords as plain triads. That usually means the progression uses modal mixture (borrowing from the parallel key), a secondary dominant, or a chromatic mediant. Try the generator to rebuild it degree by degree.
