Mary Did You Know by Spoken is played in the key of D#m. Originally recorded in the sounding key of D#m, 'Mary Did You Know' by Spoken is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 3, enabling guitarists to execute friendly Cm shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. Replace full barre B major with an ergonomic open B7 (x21202) voicing, offering significantly lighter fretting resistance for developing fingers during long practice sessions. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between D#m and C#: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
