How to play Blue: key, chords and progression

Blue by keshi keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 3 chords: C, Am and F.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, Em, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
