How to play The Vegas SuiteChords: key, chords and progression

The Vegas SuiteChords by Pixies keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: D, G, Em, Bm, Bb and C.

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

Good to know: on guitar, Bm and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
