How to play Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want: key, chords and progression

Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by Muse is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 9 chords: A5, E5, C#5, D5, Esus4, E, A5/G#, A5/F# and B5.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D5 – E5 – A5/F# – A5/G# (IV – V – I – I in A major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: C#5 and B5 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
