How to play Photograph: key, chords and progression

To play Photograph by Ed Sheeran, think in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 4 chords: D, Bm, A and G.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, Em, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
