How to play Shockwave: key, chords and progression

Shockwave by Liam Gallagher is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 8 chords: D, G, C, Bm, E, Db+, B and BM.

The backbone of the song is D – G – C – D (V – I – IV – V in G major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm, Db+, B and BM are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
