How to play Always: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Always by Ashe on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Always by Ashe is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 11 chords: G, Bm, Em, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, D, D#aug, C, Am7, D7 and Cm.

The backbone of the song is Cmaj7 – D – G – Bm (IVmaj7 – V – I – iii in G major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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