How to play Lchi Lach: key, chords and progression

Lchi Lach by Debbie Friedman is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: D, A, Em, G, F#m, Bm and A7.

Listen for D – G – A – D (I – IV – V – I in D major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F#m and Bm 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.
