How to play Star: key, chords and progression

These are Star chords by Oliver Tree on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Star by Oliver Tree is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 5 chords in all: G, Em, C, D and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Bm – Em – C (I – iii – vi – IV in G major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
