How to play My Town: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of My Town by The Starlings on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

My Town by The Starlings is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 9 chords: G, D/F#, Em, Am, D, Em7, Cadd9, C and F.

Most of the song cycles through G – D/F# – Em – Am (I – V – vi – ii in G major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
