How to play Drink: key, chords and progression

Drink by Jamie Cullum is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 20 chords in all: F, A, Dm, Bb, G/Bb, G/Eb, Em, D, G, Fmaj7, F7 and C#/A and 8 more.

The backbone of the song is F – A – Dm – Bb (I – III – vi – IV in F major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F, Bb, F7, C#/A and Fdim are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
