How to play Dignity: key, chords and progression

Dignity by The Big Push is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 5 chords: G, Am, Em, D and C.

The backbone of the song is D – Am – C – G (V – ii – IV – I in G major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
