How to play Say Anything: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Say Anything by girl in red on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Say Anything by girl in red keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 3 chords: E/A, A6 and B6/A.

The progression the song keeps returning to is E/A – A6 – B6/A – A6 (I – IV6 – V6 – IV6 in E major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: B6/A is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
