How to play Proud: key, chords and progression

Proud by Marshmello is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: C, G, Am and F.

The backbone of the song is C – G – Am – F (I – V – vi – IV in C major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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