How to play Be Alright: key, chords and progression

Be Alright by Hollow Coves sits in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), and you need 3 chords to play it: E, D and A.

Listen for E – D – A – E (V – IV – I – V in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
