How to play Dance Baby: key, chords and progression

Dance Baby by Boy Pablo is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 13 chords: Dmaj7, Amaj7, D, C#m, Bm, Esus4, E, F#m, G#m, B7, Cm and C and 1 more.

The backbone of the song is Dmaj7 – Amaj7 – Dmaj7 – C#m (IVmaj7 – Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – iii in A major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: C#m, Bm, F#m, G#m and Cm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
