How to play You Can Make The Pathway Bright: key, chords and progression

These are You Can Make The Pathway Bright chords by Majestic on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

You Can Make The Pathway Bright by Majestic is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 9 chords in all: G5, E5, C5, G, C, Am, D, Edim and Adim.

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

Good to know: on guitar, Edim and Adim need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
