How to play Bible: key, chords and progression

Bible by Ghost keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 4 chords: G, C, A and D.

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

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
