How to play Rain: key, chords and progression
Rain by The Script is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 6 chords in all: Em, A, D, G, Bm and B7.
The backbone of the song is Em – A – D – G (ii – V – I – IV in D major). In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes Am, D, G, C, Em, E7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 83% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
