How to play Yes: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Yes by LP on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Yes by LP is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 6 chords: A, Em, G, Bm, D and D/F#.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes D, Am, C, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
