How to play Instant Destiny: key, chords and progression

Instant Destiny by Tame Impala is built around B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭), with 9 chords in all: Ebmaj7, Dm7, Bb/F, Gm, Cm, Bbmaj7, Eb, Eaug and F.

Most of the song cycles through Dm7 – Ebmaj7 – Dm7 – Bb/F (iii7 – IVmaj7 – iii7 – I in B♭ major). In solfa, that is mi – fah – mi – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Cmaj7, Bm7, G, Em, Am, Gmaj7, C, C#aug, D (78% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 11% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
