This interlude is in the key of B minor but ends with a so-called Picardy’s third. Then there is that “whooh” interlude with the following chord progression (a personal favourite of mine, by the way). Then you’re back in E major, on time for the chorus. Either way, this chord introduces a modulation to A major, the key of the pre-chorus: It can be seen both as a secondary dominant chord (V7/vi) or as a borrowed chord from the parallel minor key (A minor) or as a chromatic mediant of C major. The E7b9 sounds unexpected in this context, but fits nicely. I – vi – ii – V7/vi – C – Am – Bm7b5 – E7b9 The modulation towards C major is largely done by the bass line. This progression is played several times, before the verses, which are in the key of C major. I – ii – Iii – IV – V – E – F#m – G#m – A – B At the beginning of the song you hear the chords employed in the chorus: This song is in the Key of E major for the most part, but it features quite a few modulations (key changes), which will have you fretting more chords than in previous songs.
