How to play Evangeline: key, chords and progression

Evangeline by Stephen Sanchez is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: Em, A, D, Bm7, G, Em7 and A7.

Most of the song cycles through G – A – D – Bm7 (IV – V – I – vi7 in D major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
