How to play Butter: key, chords and progression

Butter by BTS keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 4 chords: G, A, C and D.

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

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
