How to play Jamming: key, chords and progression

Jamming by Bob Marley is centred on F♯ minor (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: Bm7, E, G, F#m and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bm7 – E – G – F#m (iv7 – VII – ♭II – i in F♯ minor). 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 Am7, D, F, Em, Dm (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
