How to play Bluebird: key, chords and progression

Bluebird by Miranda Lambert keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 4 chords: Am, C, F and G.

The backbone of the song is Am – C – F – C (vi – I – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – fah – doh. 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 Em, G, C, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
