How to play Hail Mary: key, chords and progression

Hail Mary by Oracle Sisters is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 12 chords: G, B7, D, C, Em, D/F#, D7, Gm, Cm, F#m, B7/D# and A/C#.

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

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