How to play Time To Go: key, chords and progression

Time To Go by Dean Lewis sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: Em, C, G, Bm, D and A.

The backbone of the song is Em – C – G – Em (vi – IV – I – vi in G major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
