This song by Bruno Mars is in F#.
Note that the right hand plays the same sequence of notes for each chord over and over throughout the song.
In Part 1a and Part 1b, the only changes that took place are in the left hand notes.
Note that Part 1 and Part 2 are actually the same too, except that the bass notes (left hand) for Part 2 are played more frequently, i.e., at every beat.



These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1a: F# - D#m
Part 1b: BM7 - F#
Part 2 = Part 1
