How to play What A Time: key, chords and progression

What A Time by Julia Michaels feat. Niall Horan is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 5 chords: F, G, C, Am and Em.

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

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
