How to play Kalawakan: key, chords and progression

Kalawakan by Juan Karlos Labajo is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 10 chords: Amaj7, A, Emaj7, G#m, F#m, E, D7, B7, B and F#m7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Emaj7 – Amaj7 – Emaj7 – A (Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – Imaj7 – IV in E major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Gmaj7, G, Dmaj7, F#m, Em, D, C7, A7, A, Em7 (90% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
