I’m in peril, they wanna give me hell

21St Century Machine by Catie Turner is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: F, C, G and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – F – C (I – V – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. 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 C, G, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
