How to play The Dirge: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of The Dirge by Eric Slick on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

The Dirge by Eric Slick sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 7 chords to play it: A, D, A7, G, F#, F#7 and Em.

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

Good to know: F# and F#7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
