How to play Ruby Rider: key, chords and progression

Ruby Rider by Steven Universe is written in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) and moves through 16 chords: E, G#, C#m, Eaug, C#m7, F#, B9, A, B, B7, Bdim7 and Am and 4 more.

Most of the song cycles through E – G# – C#m – Eaug (I – III – vi – I in E major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, G#, C#m, Eaug, C#m7 and F# need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
