Babe by Sugarland is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, F, Am and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – F – Am – G (I – IV – vi – V in C major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
