@Tim is right, this question might be closed but I’m answering because of the history of this progression. It’s the harmony from Pachalbel’s Canon in D. It was written in the late 1600’s or early 1700’s and is one of the most recognized pieces of music to this day. They do play their song in B so it’s:
B F# G#m D#m E B E F#
Or: I V vi iii IV I IV V
This chord progression has been used in modern music many times, you can see a partial list here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachelbel%27s_Canon
