How to play Did My Best: key, chords and progression

Did My Best by The Voidz is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 8 chords in all: E, C#m, B, B7, A, G#m, G#m7 and F#m.

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