How to play The Bakery: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of The Bakery by Melanie Martinez on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

The Bakery by Melanie Martinez is in the key of G♯ minor (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). The song uses 3 chords: G#m, C#m and D#7.

Most of the song cycles through C#m – D#7 – G#m – C#m (iv – V7 – i – iv in G♯ minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Em, Am, B7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
