How to play Freedom Town: key, chords and progression

Freedom Town by The Last Internationale is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 5 chords in all: A, D, F#m, Bm and E.

The backbone of the song is A – F#m – A – Bm (I – vi – I – ii in A major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – doh – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, Am, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
