How to play 100 Mph: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of 100 Mph by Jayne Rio on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

To play 100 Mph by Jayne Rio, think in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). It takes 4 chords: E, A, C#m and B.

The backbone of the song is A – C#m – B – A (IV – vi – V – IV in E major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – soh – fah. 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 D, G, Bm, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
