How to play 1950: key, chords and progression

1950 by King Princess keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 6 chords: A, E, F#m, C#m, G#m and G#.

Most of the song cycles through C#m – A – E – F#m (vi – IV – I – ii in E major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes F, C, Dm, Am, Em, E (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
