How to play One Voice: key, chords and progression

One Voice by Home Free is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 9 chords: Bm, C, D, G, A, Bm7, E7, F#m7 and Em7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – Bm – C – G (I – vi – ♭VII – IV in D major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm, Bm7 and F#m7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
