[Intro]
Bm C D7 G

[Verse 1]
    Bm                C
I'm weary from my travels
     D7                   G
Have come a long, long way
Bm                 C
  I haven't felt a woman
       D7          G
Since [?] I was here
    Em                 C
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
        D7                      G
And run your fingers through my hair?
    Em                C
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
      D7             G
Oh so softly in my ears?
           Em  C
Oh, you're late
           D7  G
Oh, you're late
       Em  C  D7  G
You're late

[Verse 2]
Bm                   C
  Can you always tell a sinner
       D7                     G
From a sane, it feeds the same
            Bm                 C
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
     D7                        G
Have you found someone to blame?
Em                        C
  She said, "You need not worry, child
D7               G
  Now is not the time"
         Em                   C
And then she kissed me on the forehead
              D7             G
And turned my water into wine

How to play My Fair Lady: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for My Fair Lady by Kaleo on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play My Fair Lady by Kaleo, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 9 chords: Bm, C, D7, G, Em, B, F, A and Cm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – C – D7 – G (vi – IV – V7 – I in G major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, B, F and Cm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
