How to play Babe: key, chords and progression

Babe by Sugarland sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 4 chords to play it: C, F, Am and G.

Most of the song cycles through 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. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
