How to play Rolling Home: key, chords and progression

To play Rolling Home by Status Quo, think in F major (one flat: B♭). It takes 5 chords: C, D#, F, E and G.

Listen for C – D# – F – C (V – ♭VII – I – V in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, C, D, C#, E (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
