How to play A Million Miles Away: key, chords and progression

A Million Miles Away by Aladdin is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 19 chords: G, A, D, F#, Bm, Em, D/F#, F, C/E, Asus4, F#/A# and E and 7 more.

Listen for G – A – D – G (IV – V – I – IV in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F#, Bm, F, F#/A# and Bb 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.
