How to play Everyone But You: key, chords and progression

Everyone But You by Caitlynne Curtis sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 3 chords to play it: A, G and D.

Listen for A – G – D – A (V – IV – I – V in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. 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.
