How to play A Lifetime We: key, chords and progression

A Lifetime We by Robert Lamm is in the key of B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 21 chords: B, C#, A, F#, F#m11, Gmaj9, Amaj7, A7, A6, Aaug, Bb and Bm7 and 9 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Gmaj9 – F#m11 – Gmaj9 – Amaj7 (VI – v – VI – VIImaj7 in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: B, C#, F#, F#m11 and Gmaj9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
