How to play Empires Attraction: key, chords and progression

Empires Attraction by Matt Corby is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 15 chords: Cmaj7, Bm, Bb, Am, Cmaj7/G, D/F#, F, Gmaj7, Am7, D/A, G6/B and Gm6/Bb and 3 more.

Listen for Cmaj7 – Gmaj7 – Am7 – Cmaj7 (IVmaj7 – Imaj7 – ii7 – IVmaj7 in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Gmaj7, F#m, F, Em, A, C, Dmaj7, Em7, D6, Dm6 (69% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 54% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
