How to play Electric: key, chords and progression

To play Electric by Tocotronic, think in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 9 chords: Bm, A, E, D, C#m, G, B, F#m and F#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – G – D – A (I – ♭VII – IV – I in A major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Am, G, D, C, Bm, F, A, Em, E (78% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 44% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
