How to play You May See Me Walkin: key, chords and progression

You May See Me Walkin by Ricky Skaggs is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 7 chords: E7, D#, D, A, B, E and B7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D# – D – E7 – A (♯IV – IV – V7 – I in A major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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