How to play LAST HOLIDAY: key, chords and progression

LAST HOLIDAY by OneRepublic is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 4 chords: Em, G, D and A.

Listen for Em – G – D – A (ii – IV – I – V in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
