How to play Heaven: key, chords and progression
These are Heaven chords by Mitski on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Heaven by Mitski is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 7 chords: D, G, Em, A, Bm, F#7 and E.
The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Em – Bm – A (IV – ii – vi – V in D major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, Am, D, Em, B7, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 71% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
