How to play Impact: key, chords and progression

Impact by Chris Tomlin is written in G♯ minor (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯) and moves through 6 chords: E, B/D#, F#, G#m, B and C#m7.

Listen for E – B/D# – F# – G#m (VI – III – VII – i in G♯ minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, G, D, Em, Am7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 20% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
