How to play Empty Love: key, chords and progression

Empty Love by GRACEY & Ruel sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 8 chords to play it: D/F#, F#m, Bm, A, G, Gm, Em and E.

Most of the song cycles through D/F# – F#m – Bm – A (I – iii – vi – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m, Bm and Gm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
