How to play Room Service: key, chords and progression

These are Room Service chords by Holly Humberstone on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Room Service by Holly Humberstone keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 8 chords: G, Em, D, Bm, A, A/Bb, Gbm and Dmaj7.

The backbone of the song is D – G – Em – D (I – IV – ii – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – reh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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