To learn Maeve De Voe - Music Of The Sea chords, anchor your practice on these foundational sequence of chords - Em, A, Em, G, Em, Am, Em, D and Am. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 58 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 118. With the song's key of F Minor, set your capo to fit your vocal range and chord choice.
