How to play Too Much: key, chords and progression

Too Much by Carly Rae Jepsen is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 3 chords: F, Dm and Bb.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes E, C#m, A (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
