Topic: Plain Jane - Sammy Hagar

This song popped into my head the the other day.  Is this in the key of A?

Thanks.  Seems to go from A to E, then F#m.  Haven't worked it all out.  Started playing the F#m pentatonic over it.

BGD:  Either one will work, right?  Same scale, just a different root?

Or does the major/relative minor trick not work on pentatonic scales?
