How to play Ko Xa Ra: key, chords and progression
These are Ko Xa Ra chords by John Chamling Rai for Piano and Ukulele.
Ko Xa Ra by John Chamling Rai sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: E, B, C#m and A.
The backbone of the song is E – B – C#m – A (I – V – vi – IV in E major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, A, Bm, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
