How to play Some Kind Of Disaster: key, chords and progression

Some Kind Of Disaster by All Time Low keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 4 chords: G, C, D and Em.

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

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
