How to play Pour Whiskey On My Grave: key, chords and progression

To play Pour Whiskey On My Grave by Jacob Bryant, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 4 chords: D, C, G and B.

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

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