How to play Jewel: key, chords and progression

Jewel by Adam Melchor, dodie is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: C, G, Am7, F, A#, A7, Dm and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – F – Am – C (I – IV – vi – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and A# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
