How to play Independent Together: key, chords and progression

Independent Together by Steven Universe The Movie is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 13 chords: A, E, B, D, G, C#m, Bm, A7, Am, C, F and Dm and 1 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – C#m – A7 (I – V – vii – V7 in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – te – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: B, C#m, Bm and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
