How to play Geyser: key, chords and progression

Geyser by Mitski is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 4 chords: G, D, Bm and A.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes C, G, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
