How to play The New Ground Live: key, chords and progression

The New Ground Live by Kristin Andreassen is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 11 chords: C, Dm, F, D7, Am, Bdim, Ddim, A, D, D#dim and Dm7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – D7 – F (IV – I – II7 – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Bdim, Ddim and D#dim are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
