Marry You’s chords and progressions
The ultimate easy-to-learn wedding tune we have from Bruno Mars in Marry You. As there are only three chords, you won’t have to rehearse this one!
Using Roman Numerals, the chords for Marry You are I – II – IV – I. Could it be any easier?
Perhaps for a beginner, it’s tricky as these need to be played as barre chords. Well, the Gm could be an open-position chord, but still, F and Bb have to be barre.
Let’s look at how you can find a way around this using a capo.
- Fret 1: E – F#m – A – E, the F#m chord is barre
- Fret 3: D – Em – G – D, no barre chords!
- Fret 5: C – Dm – F – C, the F chord is barre
- Fret 7: A – Bm – D – A, the Bm chord is barre.
Looks to me like the best way is to play this using a capo on fret 3, thinking in the key of D, unless you know the CAGED system really well and don’t mind playing fractions of barre chords.

Intermediate Acoustic
Most intermediate acoustic tunes can’t be played using just basic open-position chords. We have to move up the fretboard and play CAGED barre chords as well.
We incorporate bass lines, add licks, extend chords, and play vocal melodies. Most importantly, we invent second guitar parts and play these songs together.
