How to play 3AM: key, chords and progression

3AM by Ivan B sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: A, C#m, E and B.

The backbone of the song is A – C#m – E – B (IV – vi – I – V in E major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Bm, D, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
