How to play Hawaiian Boogie: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Hawaiian Boogie by The Wiggles on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Hawaiian Boogie by The Wiggles keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 10 chords: D, C, C#, G, F#, C7, G7, Bm, A#m and Am.

Listen for D – C# – D – G (I – VII – I – IV in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – te – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: C#, F#, Bm and A#m 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.
