How to play Dark Night: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Dark Night by Warren Zeiders on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Dark Night by Warren Zeiders is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: Bm, G and D.

The backbone of the song is Bm – G – D – Bm (vi – IV – I – vi in D major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes Em, C, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
