How to play Let Me Down: key, chords and progression

Let Me Down by Oliver Tree sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: D, Bm, F# and G.

Listen for D – Bm – F# – G (I – vi – III – IV in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – mi – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes C, Am, E, F (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
