How to play Lonely Eyes: key, chords and progression

Lonely Eyes by Lauv is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 3 chords: D, A and G.

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

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