How to play Anthem: key, chords and progression

These are East Of Sundown chords by Anthem on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Anthem by East Of Sundown is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 6 chords: D, Dsus, C, Cm, Bm and Asus.

The backbone of the song is D – Dsus – D – C (V – Vsus4 – V – IV in G major). In solfa, that is soh – soh – soh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Cm and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
