Questions about Wonderwall on guitar

What key is Wonderwall in?

Wonderwall is in F# minor. Guitarists usually play it with a capo on the 2nd fret using easier E-minor-shape chords, which is why guitar tabs look like they are in E minor — but the sounding key, and what piano and bass play, is F# minor.

Why does Wonderwall use a capo on the 2nd fret?

The song sounds in F# minor, but F#-minor chords are awkward barre shapes. Putting a capo on the 2nd fret lets you play easy open E-minor-shape chords (Em7, G, Dsus4, A7sus4) while they sound a whole step higher — F#m7, A, Esus4, B7sus4. You finger the easy shapes; the capo does the transposing.
