How to play Windy Hill: key, chords and progression

Windy Hill by The Pastels is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 5 chords: Cadd9, Dsus2/F#, Gsus, E and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cadd9 – Dsus2/F# – Gsus – Cadd9 (Iadd9 – IIsus2 – Vsus4 – Iadd9 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
