How to play My Town: key, chords and progression

My Town by Glass Tiger is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 8 chords in all: A, D, F#m, G, Bm, Asus2, E and Esus4.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – D – F#m – G (V – I – iii – IV in D major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – mi – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#m and Bm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
