How to play Cherry: key, chords and progression

Cherry by Harry Styles is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 8 chords: G, Bm/F#, Em7, Cmaj9, D, C, Bm and Am.

Listen for G – Bm/F# – Em7 – Cmaj9 (I – iii – vi7 – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm/F#, Cmaj9 and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
