If you have a fingering chart, what's the problem? Start with F and put a finger on every key that's black on the chart. Left hand goes under the bassoon on the wing and long joints. Right hand goes over and on the boot joint. I don't know how else to explain. The only possible deviation from that is for the left thumb where you will have to press many keys with the same thumb. Also, get the Weissenborn book.
