How to play Its Done: key, chords and progression

Its Done by McLee is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: Em, G and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – G – F (iii – V – IV in C major). In solfa, that is mi – soh – fah. Learn these 3 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
