How to play Get Along: key, chords and progression

Get Along by Kenny Chesney is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 6 chords in all: G, G/B, Cadd9, Em7, D and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – G/B – Cadd9 – G (I – I – IVadd9 – I in G major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
