How to play Forever: key, chords and progression

Forever by Nashville Cast is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 6 chords: Am, Am7, F, C, Dm and G.

Listen for Am – F – C – Am (vi – IV – I – vi in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, Em7, C, G, Am, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 83% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
