How to play All Of Me: key, chords and progression

All Of Me by John Legend is in the key of E minor (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 12 chords: Em, C, G, D, Cmaj7, Cadd9, Amadd9, Am, Emadd9, Am/C, C/D and Dadd9.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – C – G – D (i – VI – III – VII in E minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Amadd9, Emadd9 and Dadd9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
