chords are a little out of sync, but it is pretty good.

I believe the key Ray does this song in is G# Minor.
That being the starting chord, so half a step down from this, making it
G#Minor - F#Major - EMajor - D#Major
If you want to transpose it into your own key, just find the minor chord that you want to start with, eg Bminor, then play the major 1 step down, another major 1 step down from that, and another major half a step down from that one.
Sorry if confusing.
