How to play Shes The One: key, chords and progression

These are Shes The One chords by Brantley Gilbert on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Shes The One by Brantley Gilbert keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 8 chords: G, Am7, C, Am, Bm, D, Em and Em7.

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

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