How to play St Marie: key, chords and progression

To play St Marie by High Highs, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 9 chords: G, Am, Em, C, D, Bm, C9, D4 and D9.

Most of the song cycles through G – Am – Em – C (I – ii – vi – IV in G major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, C9 and D9 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
