All Right Now Chords: Unlock the Power of Classic Rock Progressions
All Right Now‘s chords are primarily based on the traditional blues progression of the I, IV, and V, though there’s more to them than that.
In the key of A, the A chord is typically played as an A5 (power chord). When we move to the D chord (IV), we keep the A note in the bass, adding a nice continuity to the progression.
As the chorus begins, a G chord is introduced, which serves as the classic rock ‘n’ roll bVIIx chord. The D chord now features an F# in the bass, creating a distinctive flavour.
The E chord, the V chord, appears only once — at the end of the (quite long) solo.
Throughout the track, the solo is accompanied by a distinctive bass line, and from start to finish, All Right Now is filled with slash chords and interesting bass movements that contribute to its unique sound.
Given that Andy, the bassist, wrote the song, it’s no surprise that the chord structure is so bass-driven and focused on dynamic, yet simple, progressions.
Here’s a chord chart.
All Right Now Chord Chart | PDF + iReal Pro
Here’s a PDF and iReal Pro version of the All Right Now chord chart.
Normally, the iReal Pro format is great because it allows you to change the key, but for All Right Now, I can’t imagine the key ever needing to change, so the PDF should suffice.
All Right Now was written by Free’s bass player!
Released in 1970, All Right Now became the biggest hit for the English rock band Free. Even after lead singer Paul Rodgers left to form Bad Company, he continued to perform the song with his new band.
The song was written by Free’s bassist, Andy Fraser, with Paul Rodgers contributing the lyrics.
All Right Now topped the charts worldwide, reaching No. 1 in over 20 countries. It remains a staple on classic rock radio stations, regularly played by DJs and cover bands, and continues to epitomize the genre.
