How to play Cha Cha Cha: key, chords and progression

These are Cha Cha Cha chords by Bruno Mars for Piano and Ukulele.

Cha Cha Cha by Bruno Mars is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 14 chords in all: Em9, Bm9, B7, Dmaj7, Em8, Gmaj7, Gm7, C7, Fmaj7, D7, Dm7 and Cmaj7 and 2 more.

Listen for Gmaj7 – Gm7 – C7 – Fmaj7 (Vmaj7 – v7 – I7 – IVmaj7 in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Em9, Bm9, Gm7 and Bbmaj7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
