How to play Entertainer: key, chords and progression

Entertainer by Zayn keeps coming home to F major (one flat: B♭). You need 5 chords: Bb, C, Am, Dm and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bb – C – Am – Dm (IV – V – iii – vi in F major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – mi – lah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes F, G, Em, Am, C (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
