How to play Will Of The People: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Will Of The People by Muse on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Will Of The People by Muse is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 5 chords: A, D, E, A/C# and B/D#.

Most of the song cycles through A – D – E – A (I – IV – V – I in A major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, C, D, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
