How to play Okay: key, chords and progression

Okay by LANY & Julia Michaels sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: D, G, A, Asus4, Dsus2 and Dsus4.

Listen for D – Dsus2 – D – G (I – Isus2 – I – IV in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – doh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
