How to play Something Else: key, chords and progression

Something Else by Chastity Belt is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 12 chords: Gbsus4, B, Gb, Bbm7, A, Db, Gb7, G, D, E, E7 and D7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – E – G – D (V – II – IV – I in D major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – fah – doh. 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 Esus4, A, E, Abm7, G, B, E7, F, C, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
