( from WidipediA:) All the Things You Are is a song composed by Jerome Kern, with lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II. It was written for the musical Very Warm for May (1939), where it was introduced by Hiram Sherman, Frances Mercer, Hollace Shaw, and Ralph Stuart. It was later featured in the film Broadway Rhythm (1944), and was performed during the opening credits and as a recurring theme for the romantic comedy A Letter for Evie (1945). The song ranked in the top five of the Record Buying Guide of Billboard, a pre-retail listing which surveyed primarily the jukebox industry. Recordings by Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, and Frankie Masters propelled the song during its initial popularity.
An example of how to play through the chords of All The Things You Are on a "C" tuned ukulele is available in my book Exploring Jazz Chords on Ukulele.

Performance Notes for All the Things You Are
Here is how I remember the melody of All the Things You Are:
- ATTYA moves through several keys with the chords following a cycle of fourths in two sections.
Fm7 Bbm7 Eb7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
- The Dbmaj7 goes up a half step to Dm which is a II V I of the next key, C major
- The Cmaj7 turns into Cm7 and a cycle of fourths follows, an one and on.
My book, Exploring Jazz Chords on Ukulele has one way to play All the Things You Are using the chords from A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele.
This song modulates through several keys and uses 4-part jazz chords as its core chords.
With a song this complex you really need to have a firm foundation in the core chords that make up the jazz ukulele chord vocabulary.
As a “jazz” standard All the Things You Are uses 4-part contemporary, a.k.a "jazz" chords. Using a wider range of chords than your typical rock, pop or folk song. You'll definitely need to venture beyond the third fret of your instrument to play this arrangement.
When venturing into solo ukulele and “jazz” chords, a core set of chords and a solid foundation on how chords are constructed are needed to be successful in this style of music.
Core Jazz Chords for Ukulele - The “Big Six”. A series of ukulele lessons for developing a core set of 4-part contemporary chords.
How I Learned these “Jazz” Chords... Learning these more advanced chords doesn't take some mythical secret knowledge. All it takes is knowing how chords are created - where they come from. I learned them over many years. Using the information I ultimately put down in my book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele. Study how to make any chord you will ever need to play using the tried and true chord formulas that the pros use. They're all in this book.
