How to play Breathin: key, chords and progression

Breathin by Ariana Grande is written in E minor (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 6 chords: Em7, G, Cadd9, D/F#, G/B and D.

Listen for Cadd9 – G/B – Cadd9 – D (VIadd9 – III – VIadd9 – VII in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
