How to play Simula: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Simula by TJ Monterde feat. KZ Tandingan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Simula by TJ Monterde feat. KZ Tandingan is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 9 chords: E, A, F#m, C#m, B, F#m/A, C#m7, F#m7 and Amaj7.

Listen for A – E – F#m – A (IV – I – ii – IV in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, G, Em, Bm, A, Bm7, Em7, Gmaj7 (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 38% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
