The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – D – G – C (vi – II – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is lah – reh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Aaug, Ab, Edim7, Gaug and Am6 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
