How to play Pray: key, chords and progression

Pray by jxdn is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 5 chords: Fmaj7, C, G, Am and Em.

Listen for C – G – Am – Fmaj7 (I – V – vi – IVmaj7 in C major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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