Of everything that it brings

Looks to the sky when there’s nothing to do

How to play Oh Love: key, chords and progression

Oh Love by Phildel is written in B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯) and moves through 6 chords: E, F#, G#m, B, D#m and C#m.

Listen for E – F# – G#m – F# (IV – V – vi – V in B major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, D, Em, G, Bm, Am (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 17% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
