How to play Hymn Of Promise: key, chords and progression

Hymn Of Promise by Nancy Allen is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: G, Dm, D and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – Dm – D – G (V – ii – II – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
