How to play Loneliest Time Of Year: key, chords and progression

Loneliest Time Of Year by Mabel is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 8 chords: G, Bm, Am, D, Em, C, Cm and B.

Most of the song cycles through G – Bm – Am – D (I – iii – ii – V in G major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm, Cm and B are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
