How to play Dont Pick Up: key, chords and progression

To play Dont Pick Up by Austin Snell, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 7 chords: C, E7, Am, F, Em, E and Fm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – E7 – Am – F (I – III7 – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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