How to play Coloring Book: key, chords and progression

Coloring Book by The Regrettes is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 6 chords: C, F, G, Dm, Am and Em.

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

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
