How to play Champion: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Champion by Bethel Music on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Champion by Bethel Music is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: G, Em, G/D, D, C, G/B, D/F# and E/F#.

Listen for C – Em – D – C (IV – vi – V – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – lah – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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