How to play Living Hope: key, chords and progression

Living Hope by Phil Wickham is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 6 chords: D, Dsus4, A, G, Bm and D/F#.

Listen for G – D – A – Bm (IV – I – V – vi in D major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, Gsus4, D, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
