How to play Date Night: key, chords and progression

Date Night by Father John Misty is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 5 chords in all: F#, B, E, A and D.

Listen for F# – B – E – F# (II – V – I – II in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes E, A, D, G, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
