How to play Pretty Boy: key, chords and progression

Pretty Boy by Lennon Stella is written in F♯ minor (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 7 chords: F#m, E, Dmaj7, C#m, Bm7, C#m7 and Dmaj.

Listen for F#m – E – Dmaj7 – E (i – VII – VImaj7 – VII in F♯ minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats: the song comes back to it again and again. 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 Em, D, Cmaj7, Bm, Am7, Bm7, C (71% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 43% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
