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

This is the chords of The New Ground Live by Kristin Andreassen on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

To play The New Ground Live by Kristin Andreassen, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 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.
