Notes yes but not chords. The major chords are built in the same way.

C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7 G Am7 Bm7b5

E is E F#m7 G#m7 A Bm7 C#m7 D#m7b5

I had check E, C is easy because it's all white notes!

So if you are playing an E chord and go to F# you are changing the key because the sharps in E are F#, G#, C# and D# and F# has those plus A # and E#.

E# is just F but that is just keeping to the scale rules of nomenclature.
I always found that side a little fiddly.

Specifically that set of chords. I did not mean, just the notes. As much as I could tell, those are for key of E major. In fact, if you can understand the pun being given, and can accept whatever needed relative tuning, those are the chords used in the Rolling Stones song, Jig-Saw Puzzle. The song and the chording just caught my interest. ( I only have the very crudest of any music theory knowledge. )

I came across a Buddy Holly cover by Eva Cassidy only to find out that the Buddy Holly song was already a Paul Anka cover. Anyway, both artists who had covered the song have passed far too early in their lives. That gave me the...
The piece came-up from the "Lame Jokes" section of the forum. Someobody carried a step from one of the posts and I became curious and tried a brief web search. A web page gives some justification of sorts why we can use goose(s)-geese(p), but not moose(s)-meese(p). Look for the part of the page headed with "Why isn't "meese" the correct plural?" https://languagetool.org/insights/post/plural-of-moose/
