How to play 1122: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for 1122 by Buddy on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

1122 by Buddy is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 6 chords: C, F, G, Am, Cm and Em.

The backbone of the song is F – C – F – G (IV – I – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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