How to play Daisies: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Daisies by Katy Perry on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

To play Daisies by Katy Perry, think in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 3 chords: G, Bm and A.

Listen for G – Bm – A – G (VI – i – VII – VI in B minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
