How to play Dear Ben: key, chords and progression

Dear Ben by Julia Nunes is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 11 chords in all: E, G#m, Bm, A, C, C#m, Am, A7, G#, B and F#m.

The backbone of the song is E – G#m – A – B (I – iii – IV – V in E major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: G#m, Bm, C#m, G# and B are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
