Lyrics

I’ve

I’ve (Bb)nev er seen you look ing so love ly as you did to night,

I’ve (D7)nev er seen you (D7)shine so bright,

mm mm mm mm.

I’ve (Bb)nev er seen so ma ny men ask you if you want ed to dance,

they’re look ing for a lit tle ro mance,

giv en half

a chance,

and I have (Cm)nev er seen that dress you’re wear ing,

or the (F7)high lights in your hair

that catch your eyes,

I have been blind.

The (F)la dy in red

is (F)danc ing with me,

(F)cheek to cheek,

there’s no bo (Gm)dy here,

it’s just you and me,

it’s where I wan na be,

but I hard ly know

I’ve

gor geous

and when you (D7)turned to me (D7)and smiled,

it took my a way, a chance,

had such a feel

such a (F7)feel ing of com plete and ut ter love,

as I do to night.

The (F)la dy in red

is (F)danc ing with me,

(F)cheek to cheek,

there’s no bo (Gm)dy here,

it’s just you and me,

it’s where I wan na be,

but I hard ly know

this beau ty by my side,

I’ll ne ver for get

the way you look to night.

I’ve way you look to night,

I nev er will for get

the (F7)way you look

to night.

The (F)la dy in red,

The (F)la dy in red,

my (F)la dy in (Bb)red.

About “The Lady In Red”

Can I sing "The Lady In Red" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "The Lady In Red" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Bb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "The Lady In Red" by Chris de Burgh in?
The backing track is in Bb at 100 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "The Lady In Red" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "The Lady In Red"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "The Lady In Red", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "The Lady In Red" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "The Lady In Red" by Chris de Burgh. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "The Lady In Red" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Bb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "The Lady In Red" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
