How to play Smile: key, chords and progression

Smile by as of late is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 3 chords: F, Gm and Bbmaj7.

The backbone of the song is F – Gm – Bbmaj7 – F (I – ii – IVmaj7 – I in F major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, Em, Gmaj7 (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
