How to play Goin Out On Me: key, chords and progression

Goin Out On Me by Electric Light Orchestra is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 12 chords: C, Am, Dm, G, Gm, Dm7, E7, D, E, F, C7 and F#dim.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Am – Dm – G (I – vi – ii – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Gm, F and F#dim are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
