How to play Meet The Moonlight: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Meet The Moonlight by Jack Johnson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Meet The Moonlight by Jack Johnson is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 8 chords: G, F, Am, C, D7, Em6, D/F# and Em.

Most of the song cycles through G – F – Am – C (I – ♭VII – ii – IV in G major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
