All Of Me Chords — John Legend

How to Play All Of Me by John Legend

"All Of Me" is one of the most popular wedding songs and a favourite for beginner guitarists and pianists alike. The song is written in the key of F minor, but with a capo on the 1st fret you can play it comfortably using open chord shapes — Em, C, G, D and Am.

The chord progression throughout the verse follows a simple repeating pattern of Em / C / G / D, making it an ideal song for musicians at the beginner to intermediate level. The pre-chorus introduces Am before resolving back to the G-based chorus.

Tips for Playing All Of Me

• Place your capo firmly on the 1st fret before tuning to ensure accurate pitch.
• Practise the Em → C → G → D transition slowly before building speed.
• For piano: the left-hand root notes follow Eb – Cb – Gb – Db in the original key.
• The bridge uses Am → Am/G → D/Am — focus on the smooth bass movement.
