How to play Female: key, chords and progression

Female by Keith Urban keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 4 chords: B, G#m, E and C#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is B – C#m – G#m – E (V – vi – iii – I in E major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – mi – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes G, Em, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
