How to play Summer Was A Bummer: key, chords and progression

Summer Was A Bummer by Dean Dillon is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 9 chords in all: C, F, G, Fmaj7, Dm, B/G, Am, Dm7 and Em.

Most of the song cycles through Dm – Em – F – G (ii – iii – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is reh – mi – fah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F and B/G are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
