How to play Dear Sour Strawberry You Werent All That Great: key, chords and progression

Dear Sour Strawberry You Werent All That Great by Caroline Manning is in the key of F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 8 chords: F, Bb, C, Gm, G, Am, Dm and E.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bb – F – C – Dm (IV – I – V – vi in F major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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