How to play I Will Follow Christ: key, chords and progression

I Will Follow Christ by Clay Crosse is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 18 chords: D#, F, G, Cm, A#, Gm, D, Dm, C, Am, Bm and Em and 6 more.

Most of the song cycles through D# – F – G – Cm (♭VI – ♭VII – I – iv in G major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, D#, F, Cm, A# and Gm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
