How to play One World: key, chords and progression

One World by Coldplay sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 10 chords to play it: C, Dm, G, F, A, Em, Bm, D, B7 and A7.

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

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
