How to play See You In Austin: key, chords and progression

See You In Austin by Dakota Striplin is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 10 chords in all: G, Am, F#m, Em, D, C, Bm, A, E and C#m.

The backbone of the song is G – F#m – Em – D (I – vii – vi – V in G major). In solfa, that is doh – te – lah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F#m, Bm and C#m are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
