How to play Wavelength: key, chords and progression

Wavelength by SayWeCanFly is built around A♭ major (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭), with 5 chords in all: Ab, Db, Fm, Eb and Cm.

Most of the song cycles through Db – Fm – Cm – Db (IV – vi – iii – IV in A♭ major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – mi – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D, Bm (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
