How to play Extraordinary Magic: key, chords and progression

Extraordinary Magic by Ben Rector is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 6 chords in all: A, Bm7, E, D, C#m and G.

Most of the song cycles through D – A – Bm7 – D (IV – I – ii7 – IV in A major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes D, Em7, A, G, F#m, C (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
