How to play Icarus: key, chords and progression

Icarus by Eden is written in G minor (two flats: B♭, E♭) and moves through 9 chords: Gm, F, Cm, D#, Dm, C#7, A#, C and Am.

Most of the song cycles through D# – Dm – Cm – D# (VI – v – iv – VI in G minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Em, D, Am, C, Bm, Bb7, G, A, F#m (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
