How to play Thread: key, chords and progression
Thread by Emily Ann Roberts sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 7 chords to play it: C, G, Dm7, F, C/E, Dm and Am.
The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Dm – F – G (I – ii – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, D, Am7, C, Am, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 83% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
