How to play The Jesus Way: key, chords and progression

These are The Jesus Way chords by Phil Wickham on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play The Jesus Way by Phil Wickham, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 6 chords: C, Csus4, Am, F, G and C/E.

Most of the song cycles through C/E – F – Am – G (I – IV – vi – V in C major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, Gsus4, Em, C, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
