How to play Saturday Night: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Saturday Night by Suede on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Saturday Night by Suede is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 15 chords: A, C#m/G#, G, D/F#, Dm/F, E7sus4, E, E7, Bm, F, D and F#m and 3 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – C#m/G# – G – D/F# (I – iii – ♭VII – IV in A major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: C#m/G#, Bm, F, F#m and Bm7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
