How to play Last Day Under The Sun: key, chords and progression

Last Day Under The Sun by Volbeat is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 9 chords in all: D, A, A/E, E, A5, B, C#m, G#m and C#5.

The backbone of the song is C#m – A – E – B (vi – IV – I – V in E major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: B, C#m, G#m and C#5 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.
