How to play Beer For Breakfast: key, chords and progression

Beer For Breakfast by Zach Top is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: D, G7, G, C7, Em, A7 and D7.

Listen for D7 – G7 – C7 – D7 (V7 – I7 – IV7 – V7 in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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