How to play Bois Lie: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Bois Lie by Avril Lavigne feat. Machine Gun Kelly on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Bois Lie by Avril Lavigne feat. Machine Gun Kelly is written in F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯) and moves through 6 chords: F#, C#, F#/A#, B, D#m and C#/F.

The backbone of the song is F# – C# – F#/A# – B (I – V – I – IV in F♯ major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes D, A, G, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
