How to play Lighthouse Spaceship: key, chords and progression

Lighthouse Spaceship by The Lickerish Quartet keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 17 chords: E, G, D, A, G#, F#, B, C, Am, C#m, Bb and Ebm and 5 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Eb – F# – F – G#m (VII – II – ♭II – iii in E major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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