How to play Piano: key, chords and progression

Piano keeps coming home to F major (one flat: B♭). You need 3 chords: F, Bb and C.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, G, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
