How to play Funny Man: key, chords and progression

To play Funny Man by Zach Bryan, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: C, F, Am and G.

Listen for C – F – Am – G (I – IV – vi – V in C major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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.
