How to play Wild: key, chords and progression

Wild by John Legend is in the key of E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). The song uses 4 chords: Eb, Ab, Cm and Bb.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bb – Cm – Ab – Bb (V – vi – IV – V in E♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes D, G, Bm, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
