This is the chords of Constellations by Ellie Holcomb on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
G/D Em G/D C/E

[Verse 1]
G/D
There once was a season of infinite light
Em
When the distance from Heaven was not far behind
G/D C/E
I was close to You, I was close to You
G/D
Carry me back to that moment in time
Em
When the colors and fragments were beautifully bright
G/D C/E
How I long for You, how I long for You

[Chorus]
G/D Em
‘Cause out here in the dark
G/D C/E
Underneath a canopy of stars
G/D Em
Constellations fal-ling from Your heart
G/D
That tell me that I’m not alone
C/E
‘Cause honestly I’m so alone
G/D
Promise me I’m not alone
Em C/E

[Verse 2]
G/D
How many miles does my soul have to drive
Em
Before love can collide with the mess in my life?
G/D C/E
That’s not hard for You, that’s not hard for You
G/D
‘Cause You see through spectrums of darkness and light
Em
But I’m losing my way and I’m losing my mind
G/D C/E
I can’t see the truth, help me see the truth

[Chorus]
G/D Em
‘Cause out here in the dark
G/D C/E
Underneath a canopy of stars
G/D Em
Constellations fal-ling from Your heart
G/D
Tell me that I’m not alone
C/E
‘Cause honestly I’m so alone
G/D Em
Promise me I’m not alone, oh
G/D
Promise me I’m not alone, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
G/D
When I felt the light of the moon on my face
Em
The memory of sun that’d been shining for days
G/D
You’ve already been in this desolate place
C/E
You’ve already been here and You’ve made a way
G/D
Pinpricks of glory strung out across the sky
Em
Memories of darkness undone by the light
G/D
Reminding me You are right here by my side
C/E G/D
You’re here by my side, You’re here by my side

[Chorus]
G/D Em
‘Cause out here in the dark
G/D C/E
Underneath a canopy of stars
G/D Em
Constellations fal-ling from Your heart
G/D
Tell me that I’m not alone
C/E
I know that I’m never alone
G/D
‘Cause You find me and bring me back home
Em
And I’m never alone, never alone
G/D
Never alone, never alone
C/E
Never alone
G/D
Out here in the dark

How to play Constellations: key, chords and progression

Constellations by Ellie Holcomb is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 3 chords: G/D, Em and C/E.

Most of the song cycles through G/D – Em – G/D – C/E (V – iii – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is soh – mi – soh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
