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 in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: A, D, E, A/C# and B/D#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is 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. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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.
