How to play Wrong: key, chords and progression

Wrong by GRAHAM keeps coming home to D♭ major (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). You need 4 chords: C#, A#m, F# and G#.

Listen for F# – C# – F# – A#m (IV – I – IV – vi in D♭ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 6th fret and play the shapes G, Em, C, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
