Below is an analysis of the chord movement in the first 4 measures of the classic tune The Nearness of You. Arranged here in the key of D, the chord in measure 1 is D major. Moving into measure 2 an Am7 and then D7 resolves us to G in the 3rd measure. Try out some of the chord voicings I’ve suggested below. These types of movement are standard to many songs of the era so if you can start to put the standard movements to memory you’ll begin to find other places to use them.
