How to play 8: key, chords and progression

8 by Billie Eilish is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 4 chords: G, Bm, Am and D.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes C, Em, Dm, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
