How to play Mr Sightseer: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Mr Sightseer by Blondie on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Mr Sightseer by Blondie keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 5 chords: A, Bm, C#m, F#m and E.

The backbone of the song is A – Bm – C#m – Bm (I – ii – iii – ii in A major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – mi – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Am, Bm, Em, D (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
