How to play Tranz: key, chords and progression

Tranz by Gorillaz is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: C5, F5, Ab5, G5 and Bb5.

Listen for C5 – F5 – Ab5 – G5 (I – IV – ♭VI – V in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A5, D5, F5, E5, G5 (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
