How to play Texas Hold Em: key, chords and progression

These are Texas Hold Em chords by Beyoncé on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Texas Hold Em by Beyoncé is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 5 chords in all: D, Bm, G, A and Em7.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, Em, C, D, Am7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
