How to play A Poem: key, chords and progression

To play A Poem by AJJ (Andrew Jackson Jihad), think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 6 chords: C, G, F, Dm, Bb and G7.

Most of the song cycles through C – G – F – C (I – V – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, E, D, Bm, G, E7 (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
