How to play Back To Where You Came From: key, chords and progression

Back To Where You Came From by Josh Kerr is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 4 chords: G, D/F#, Em and Cadd9.

The backbone of the song is G – D/F# – Em – Cadd9 (I – V – vi – IVadd9 in G major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
