How to play Freedom: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Freedom by Kygo feat. Zak Abel on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Freedom by Kygo feat. Zak Abel sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: C, G, D, Em, D#m and Bm.

Listen for Em – C – G – D (vi – IV – I – V in G major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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