How to play Back To Jesus: key, chords and progression

These are Back To Jesus chords by Brett Young on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Back To Jesus by Brett Young is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 5 chords: G, Em, C, Cmaj7 and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – D – C (IV – vi – V – IV in G major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
