Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bar 1, C#), F# (bar 2, F#), G# (bar 3, G#), F# (bar 4, F#), C# (bar 5, C#), F# (bar 6, F#), G# (bar 7, G#), F# (bar 8, F#), C# (bar 9, C#), A# (bar 10, A#m7), and so on through the form. Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C#.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: E# over C#, A# over F#, B# over G#, C# over A#m7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
