How to play Perfect: key, chords and progression

Perfect by Beckah Shae is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 8 chords: G, Em, C, D, D/F#, F, G/B and Dadd4.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – C – G – D (vi – IV – I – V in G major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Dadd4 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
