How to play Every Heart In The Room: key, chords and progression

Every Heart In The Room by Mark Knopfler is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 14 chords in all: Em7, Daug/E, D9, C9, D, D/A, Asus4, A/D, Bm, A/C#, D/C and G and 2 more.

Most of the song cycles through Asus4 – D – A/D – Bm (Vsus4 – I – V – vi in D major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – soh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Daug/E, D9, C9 and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
