You have a very good ear! It looks like A Major, but the tonality is actually B Minor!. This song is kind of modal because the key signature for B Minor is 2 sharps: F# and C#!. Yet the E chord has a G#!. I would but the key in 2 sharps and add the G# when needed!. You need to listen to the chords again because there are some inversions (what guitar players call slash chords)!. For example, I hear A Major going to E with a G# on the bottom resolving to B Minor in the beginning of the song!. Thanks for getting me to listen to it!. It's a fine song!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
