How to play What Am I Gonna Do Today: key, chords and progression

What Am I Gonna Do Today by The Regrettes is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 6 chords in all: C, Em, Am, F, Fm and G.

Most of the song cycles through F – G – Em – Am (IV – V – iii – vi in C major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – mi – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Fm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
