How to play Twang: key, chords and progression

Twang by Mason Ramsey is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 3 chords: F, C and G.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, A, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
