How to play Peace Be Still: key, chords and progression
Peace Be Still by The Belonging Co is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: A, F#m, E, D and A/C#.
The progression the song keeps returning to is D – E – F#m – A/C# (IV – V – vi – I in A major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Em, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
