How to play Dont Lie: key, chords and progression

Dont Lie by The Chainsmokers is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 3 chords: Am, Fmaj7 and C.

Listen for Fmaj7 – Am – C – Fmaj7 (IVmaj7 – vi – I – IVmaj7 in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – lah – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
