How to play Original Me: key, chords and progression

Original Me by Yungblud feat. Dan Reynolds is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: C, D5, Am, G5, F, Dm and Fmaj7.

Listen for D5 – C – D5 – Am (V – IV – V – ii in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – soh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
