How to play I Guess I Just Feel Like: key, chords and progression

I Guess I Just Feel Like by John Mayer is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: A, D, F#m and G.

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

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