How to play What Baking Can Do: key, chords and progression

What Baking Can Do by Sara Bareilles is built around F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), with 14 chords in all: F#, C#, B, F, C, Dm, Am, Em, Bbm, G#m, D#m and G# and 2 more.

Most of the song cycles through C# – F# – C# – B (V – I – V – IV in F♯ major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

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