One Jump Ahead by Aladdin is in the key of B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭). The song uses 11 chords: Eb, F, Bb, Dm, Gm, Am, D7sus4, D7, Gm/F, F/Eb and Cm.
Listen for F – Eb – F – Bb (V – IV – V – I in B♭ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – soh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes C, D, G, Bm, Em, F#m, B7sus4, B7, Am (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
