How to play Everything: key, chords and progression

Everything by Eric Carmen is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 8 chords in all: D, Bm7, G, Em7, A, Dm, E and B.

Most of the song cycles through D – Bm7 – D – G (I – vi7 – I – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – doh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm7 and B are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
