How to play Careless: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Careless by FKA twigs feat. Daniel Caesar on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Careless by FKA twigs feat. Daniel Caesar sits in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 3 chords to play it: G, A and Bm.

Most of the song cycles through A – Bm – G – A (VII – i – VI – VII in B minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
