How to play Heather: key, chords and progression

Heather by Conan Gray keeps coming home to F major (one flat: B♭). You need 5 chords: F, Am, Dm, Bbmaj7 and Bbm.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, Em, Am, Fmaj7, Fm (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
