How to play Summer Rain: key, chords and progression

Summer Rain by Jacob Collier keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 14 chords: D, A, Bm7, G, Em7, F, Bb, C, Gm, Cm, Ab and Eb and 2 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – Bm7 – A (I – V – vi7 – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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