How to play Piano: key, chords and progression

Piano by Claudia Emmanuela Santoso is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 10 chords: G, Am, Em, D, C, G#, A#m, Fm, D# and C#.

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

Good to know: G#, A#m, Fm, D# and C# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
