How to play Happy Easter: key, chords and progression
Happy Easter by Jesse Welles is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: C, G and F.
The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – C – F (I – V – I – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, E, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
