How to play Rejoice: key, chords and progression

Rejoice by Hillsong Fr is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 10 chords: D, Bm7, G, Em/D, G/D, D/G, Em7, D/F#, G2 and A/G.

Most of the song cycles through D – Bm7 – G – D (I – vi7 – IV – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm7 and G2 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
