Song Tabs

 The Beatles’ "All Together Now" is a simple, upbeat singalong first heard on their "Yellow Submarine" album. Its playful, repetitive structure and easy chords make it ideal for beginner guitarists.

Chords Used

You’ll need to know these open chords: G, D, D7, C, F#, and A7. If F# is difficult, you can play just the top three strings as a simplified version, or skip the intro for now.

Strumming Pattern

Keep it light and bouncy. Try a simple down-up, down-up pattern in a steady rhythm, especially for the verses and chorus. For example:
Down, down-up, down, down-up (repeat).

Emphasize the first down strum of each bar to match the song’s lively feel.

Chord Transitions

Practice moving between G, D, and D7 smoothly; these are the main chords throughout. For D7, keep your fingers close to the fretboard to change quickly from D. The bridge introduces C, which is another common open chord—take it slow at first to get the switch right.

Tips for Beginners

Focus on keeping your strumming hand relaxed. Hum or sing along to help with timing and chord changes. Use a capo on the first fret if you want to match the original key more closely, but it’s optional.

Above all, have fun—this song is meant to be playful and communal!
