How to play Deep Clean: key, chords and progression

Deep Clean by Spoon is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 8 chords: Em, C, Bb, G, F, A, Am and Cm.

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

Good to know: Bb, F and Cm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
