How to play Sign Of Hope: key, chords and progression

Sign Of Hope by Scorpions keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 7 chords: Am, Em, G, D, Bm, C and F.

The backbone of the song is G – Bm – Em – C (I – iii – vi – IV in G major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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