How to play Guiltless: key, chords and progression

Guiltless by dodie is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 4 chords: D, C, Am and Dm.

Listen for D – C – D – Am (V – IV – V – ii in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – soh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
