How to play Wrong Places: key, chords and progression

Wrong Places by H.E.R. is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: Dmaj7, D#dim, Em7 and A7.

Most of the song cycles through Dmaj7 – D#dim – Em7 – A7 (Imaj7 – ♭ii° – ii7 – V7 in D major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, D#dim needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
