How to play One Day: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for One Day by The Cactus Blossoms on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

One Day by The Cactus Blossoms is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: G, Am, C, Bm, D, F and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Bm – Am – D (IV – iii – ii – V in G major). In solfa, that is fah – mi – reh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm and F are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
