How to play Staying Up: key, chords and progression

Staying Up by The Vamps is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 6 chords in all: C, G, A, D, E and F.

Most of the song cycles through D – A – D – E (I – V – I – II in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
