How to play Light: key, chords and progression

These are Light chords by Lana Del Rey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play Light by Lana Del Rey, think in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 7 chords: Bm, E, A, A7, D, E7 and Dm.

Listen for Bm – E – A – A7 (ii – V – I – I7 in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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