How to play Special Girl: key, chords and progression

These are Special Girl chords by Eddie Schwartz on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Special Girl by Eddie Schwartz is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: C, F, D, G and Am.

Listen for C – F – D – G (I – IV – II – V in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – reh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, A, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
