How to play Distant Sun: key, chords and progression

Distant Sun by Brooke Fraser sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 7 chords to play it: G, C, Em, A, B7, D and Am.

Most of the song cycles through D – Am – C – D (V – ii – IV – V in G major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – fah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

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