How to play A Whole New World: key, chords and progression

A Whole New World by ZAYN & Zhavia Ward is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 9 chords: C, F, G, Em, E, Am, D, Bb and Dm.

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

Good to know: F and Bb are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
