Dmaj9/F#  G5 Gsus2 G5

[Verse]
Dmaj9/F#
    The tune that I’m singin’,
                G5
 I might have borrowed
  Gsus2 G5
Dmaj9/F#
    The truth that
 I’m tellin’ might
        G5   Gsus2 G5
 not be true
Dmaj9/F#
    The gifts that I bring,
                G5    Gsus2 G5
 they might be stolen
Dmaj9/F#
    But I’m here right
now and I will give
        G5  Gsus2 G5
 them to you

[Chorus]
Asus4
    They say that it’s

    If you take my hand

How to play In A Little While: key, chords and progression

These are In A Little While chords by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

In A Little While by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 11 chords: Dmaj9/F#, G5, Gsus2, Asus4, Dsus2, Em, Gm, D, Em7, G5/F# and Gm9.

The backbone of the song is Dmaj9/F# – G5 – Gsus2 – G5 (I – IV – IVsus2 – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – fah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Dmaj9/F#, Gsus2, Gm and Gm9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
