How to play Be My Fairy Tale: key, chords and progression

Be My Fairy Tale by Elmo Magalona is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 5 chords: G, Em, C, D and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Em – C – D (I – vi – IV – V in G major), the classic 1950s “doo-wop” progression. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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