How to play Here We Go Again: key, chords and progression

Here We Go Again by DMX is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 3 chords in all: B, Am and G.

Most of the song cycles through B – Am – G – Am (III – ii – I – ii in G major). In solfa, that is mi – reh – doh – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes E, Dm, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
