How to play Lainey Wilson: key, chords and progression

These are Lainey Wilson chords by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real ft Lainey Wilson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Lainey Wilson by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 9 chords: D, A, Em, G, Gm, Bm, F, F#m and D7.

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

Good to know: Gm, Bm, F and F#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
