Ice Cream by The Wombats is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 7 chords: D, F#m, E, A/E, A, Bm and G.

Most of the song cycles through D – Bm – F#m – A (IV – ii – vi – I in A major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – lah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
