How to play My Own Shit: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for My Own Shit by Jason Mraz on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play My Own Shit by Jason Mraz, think in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 8 chords: Bm/E, A, F#m7, Bm, Em, Em9/G, A7sus4 and D.

Listen for Bm – A7sus4 – D – A (i – VII7sus4 – III – VII in B minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm/E, F#m7, Bm and Em9/G 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.
