How to play Eternal Rains Will Come: key, chords and progression

Eternal Rains Will Come by Opeth is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 15 chords: D, C, D#, F#, E, G, G#, F, A#, Gmaj7, Gm and Am and 3 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – C – A# – G (V – IV – ♭III – I in G major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: D#, F#, G#, F and A# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
