How to play Woke Up Like This: key, chords and progression

To play Woke Up Like This by Matt Lang, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 3 chords: G, F and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – F – C – G (V – IV – I – V in C 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 E, D, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
