How to play A Whole New World: key, chords and progression

A Whole New World by Lea Salonga is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 9 chords: C, F, G, Em, E, Am, D, Bb and Dm.

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

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