Some times, when this place gets kin da emp ty,
the sound of the breath fades with the light,
I think a bout
the (Fmaj7)love less fas ci na tion
un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Low er the cur tain down on Mem phis,
low er the cur tain down on me.
I got no time
for (Fmaj7)pri vate con sul ta tion
un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Wish I knew what you were (Fmaj7)look ing for,

And it’s some thing quite pe cu liar,
some thing (Am)shim mer ing and white.
It leads you here,

un der the Mil ky Way to night.
Wish I knew what you were (Fmaj7)look ing for,

- 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 "Under The Milky Way" to match my voice or capo?

- 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.
