How to play Brighter Side Of Grey: key, chords and progression

Brighter Side Of Grey by Five Finger Death Punch keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 10 chords: C, D, Am, Dm, G, F, Bm, Em, B and A5.

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

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