How to play Better Man Than Me: key, chords and progression

Better Man Than Me by Greg Cartwright is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 6 chords: C, F, G, Em, Am and A#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – C – F – G (V – I – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and A# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
