How to play Last Train Home: key, chords and progression

Last Train Home by John Mayer keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 7 chords: A, E, B, E/G#, Badd4, C#m and F#m.

Listen for E – A – E – B (I – IV – I – V in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, A, Aadd11, Bm, Em (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
