How to play Save Me: key, chords and progression

Save Me by Steffany Gretzinger keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 8 chords: D, Bm, F#m, A, Em7, G, Em and A/C#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – Bm – F#m – A (I – vi – iii – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – mi – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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