How to play Where We Started: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Where We Started by Thomas Rhett & Katy Perry on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Where We Started by Thomas Rhett & Katy Perry, think in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 9 chords: Em7, A, Dmaj7, G, Bm, A/C#, D, D/F# and Em.

Listen for D – A/C# – Bm – A (I – V – vi – V in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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