I found a song I love, Go To Sea No More by The Dubliners, and the chords are F, Dm, C, Dm, C, and Dm again on the first line and it stays pretty close to that with a little variation throughout the song. By the end of the piece my fretting hand is killing me. The muscles are screaming. Other songs I have no problem with, even songs with these same chords. Is it just a matter of getting my muscles used to it, as I suspect? Have other people experienced this? Like I said, I've had no problem with other songs that are similar, Fiddler's Green, for example.
Anyway, any insight is appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Easy solution: Play it in G instead of F: G, Em, D, Em, D, and Em again.
To Explain: This is a simple transposition where you're just playing a step/whole tone higher for each original chord.
