How to play We: key, chords and progression

We by Arcade Fire is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 4 chords: D, A, G and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – D – G (I – V – I – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
