How to play The Handbook: key, chords and progression

The Handbook by Macy Nicole is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, F, G and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – G – F (IV – I – V – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
