How to play Summertime: key, chords and progression

Summertime by Cinnamons keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 13 chords: Em7, A7, F#m7, Bm7, A, D, G, D7, G#m7, Gm, B7 and Dmaj7 and 1 more.

Most of the song cycles through F#m7 – Bm7 – Em7 – A (iii7 – vi7 – ii7 – V in D major). In solfa, that is mi – lah – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Dm7, G7, Em7, Am7, G, C, F, C7, F#m7, Fm (77% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 62% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
