How to play Always: key, chords and progression
This is the chords of Always by keshi on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
Always by keshi sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 10 chords to play it: E, E7, A, Emaj7, F#, F#m7, B7, Em, C#m7 and B.
Most of the song cycles through E – E7 – A – E (I – I7 – IV – I in E major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, D7, G, Dmaj7, E, Em7, A7, Dm, Bm7, A (90% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
