How to play All Wordz Are Made Up: key, chords and progression

All Wordz Are Made Up by Julian Casablancas & The Voidz keeps coming home to B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). You need 8 chords: C#, G#m, B, D#m, C#sus4, C, A7 and A.

Listen for C# – G#m – B – C# (II – vi – I – II in B major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – lah – doh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: C#, G#m, B, D#m and C#sus4 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.
