How to play Oh Holy Night: key, chords and progression

Oh Holy Night by Bastille keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: C, F, G, Em, B and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – C – F – C (I – IV – ♭VII – IV in G major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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