My dad dropped by today

How to play Okay: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Okay by Sara Orsel on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Okay by Sara Orsel keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: G5, G, C, Em, Am and C7.

The backbone of the song is G – Am – C7 – G5 (V – vi – I7 – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
