How to play Love Is The Only Chain: key, chords and progression

These are Love Is The Only Chain chords by Art Garfunkel on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play Love Is The Only Chain by Art Garfunkel, think in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 11 chords: E5, A, G, Em, Gmaj7/Gb, D, B5, A5, G5, Em7 and A7sus4.

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

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