Elvis Presley · from Blue Hawaii, 1961
The wedding-and-first-dance classic in the key of D — a gentle 6/8 ballad built from D, F#m, Bm, G and A, with an A7 turning the verse back home. Played with no capo, so guitar, piano and bass all use the exact same chords. Every diagram below is sourced live from the chord library.
Open Can't Help Falling In Love on the interactive simple bass, hear every chord, and loop the progression.
Play Can't Help Falling In Love in the Studio →D major. It is built from D (I), F#m (iii), Bm (vi), G (IV) and A (V), with an A7 that leans the verse back to D. There is no capo, so guitar, piano and bass all play these same chords at the same pitch.
The simplest line follows the root of each chord — D, F#, B, G, A — in the order the chords move, with the A held under the A7 turnaround. Because the song has no capo these are the true pitches, identical to what the guitar and piano outline.
