How to play Two Mothers: key, chords and progression

These are Two Mothers chords by Michael Patrick Kelly on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Two Mothers by Michael Patrick Kelly is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 5 chords: A, E, F#m, D and Bm.

Listen for E – F#m – D – Bm (V – vi – IV – ii in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – reh. 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 G, D, Em, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
