How to play This Stuff: key, chords and progression

This Stuff by Frankie Cosmos is written in A♭ major (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭) and moves through 4 chords: Ab, Eb, Db and Bbm.

Listen for Ab – Eb – Db – Ab (I – V – IV – I in A♭ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes G, D, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
