How to play Rama Lama Ding Dong: key, chords and progression

Rama Lama Ding Dong by Rocky Sharpe And The Replays is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 6 chords: C, Am, F, G, G7 and Dm.

Listen for C – Am – F – G (I – vi – IV – V in C major), the classic 1950s “doo-wop” progression: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – soh. 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 G, Em, C, D, D7, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 83% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
