what key is this song in

E major

E-A-C#m-B (I-IV-vi-V) is the predominant chordal movement though there are variations using G#m (iii) for the B and F#m (ii) for the A

E ~ E-G#-B
A ~ A-C#-E
C#m ~ C#-E-G#
B ~ B-D#-F#

combine these notes and remove duplicates you get E-F#-G#-A-B-C#-D#-E - E major scale

have fun

Years of transcribing practice is how I worked it out - I can sit and listen to a piece of music and identify chord progressions in Roman numeral terms quite easily, add in a sense of key/root notes based on 38+ years of playing guitar, bass and many more instruments and it is really as simple as "I hear it and I can write it/play it"
 
im uploading the remix now if you want to check it out and let me know what you think. thanks for your help once again
