How to play Dog Days: key, chords and progression
Dog Days by Zach Bryan sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: C, G, D, Em, Dadd11 and Em11.
Listen for C – G – D – Em (IV – I – V – vi in G major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Good to know: Dadd11 and Em11 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
