How to play Face To Face: key, chords and progression

Face To Face by Ruel is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 10 chords: Amaj7, A7, A6, Dmaj7, C#m7, C7, Bm7, D/E, Dmaj13 and D6.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Amaj7 – A7 – A6 – A7 (Vmaj7 – V7 – V6 – V7 in D major). In solfa, that is soh – soh – soh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: C#m7 and Bm7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
