How to play We Are Warriors: key, chords and progression

We Are Warriors by Avril Lavigne is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 4 chords: C#m, A, E and B.

The progression the song keeps returning to is B – A – E – C#m (V – IV – I – vi in E major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – lah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Bm, G, D, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
