How to play Everest: key, chords and progression

To play Everest by beabadoobee, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 7 chords: G, Em, Am, D, Bm, C and B.

The backbone of the song is G – Em – Am – D (I – vi – ii – V in G major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm and B are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
