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

You Can Make The Pathway Bright by Majestic is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 9 chords: G5, E5, C5, G, C, Am, D, Edim and Adim.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – C – Am – D (I – IV – ii – V in G major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – reh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Edim and Adim are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
