How to play Electric: key, chords and progression

Electric by Katy Perry is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 6 chords in all: F, C, G, Am, Em and Dm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Dm – Am – F (I – ii – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
