How to play Wait For You: key, chords and progression
Wait For You by Leeland sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: D, G, Bm and A.
Most of the song cycles through D – G – Bm – A (I – IV – vi – V in D major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
