How to play The Path: key, chords and progression

The Path by Lorde is in the key of F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 5 chords: Gm, C, Bb, Dm and F.

Most of the song cycles through C – Bb – F – C (V – IV – I – V in F major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Em, A, G, Bm, D (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
