How to play No Excuses: key, chords and progression

No Excuses by Meghan Trainor is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 4 chords in all: F, C, G and A.

The backbone of the song is C – F – C – G (V – I – V – II in F major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – soh – reh. 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 C, G, D, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
