How to play Silly Me: key, chords and progression

Silly Me by WSTR is built around E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), with 3 chords in all: Fm, Eb and Ab.

Listen for Fm – Eb – Ab – Fm (ii – I – IV – ii in E♭ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – doh – fah – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Em, D, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
