[Verse 1]
D
She’s caviar and mascara

I’m corduroy and leather

It take one hell of an imagination

To ever paint us together

Places I like to haunt at

How to play Heart Like A Wheel: key, chords and progression

Heart Like A Wheel by Eric Church is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: Bm, C#m, Cm, D, A, G and F.

Listen for G – D – Bm – A (IV – I – vi – V in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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