How to play Lease On Life: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Lease On Life by Andy Grammer on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Lease On Life by Andy Grammer is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: D, G, Bm and Dsus2/G.

Most of the song cycles through D – G – D – Dsus2/G (I – IV – I – Isus2 in D major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
