The progression the song keeps returning to is Dmaj7 – Gmaj7 – Em7 – Dmaj7 (VIImaj7 – IIImaj7 – i7 – VIImaj7 in E minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: D7sus4, F#m7, A7sus2, D9 and Gm7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
