22 — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
82 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "22" by Taylor Swift: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of G, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with upbeat pop rhythm in G major, and the block bass pattern in your left hand keeps things steady so you can focus on locking in the groove.
You'll cycle through G, C, D, and Em shapes with a few power chords (Gpow, Cpow, Dpow) mixed in — those two-note power chords should feel like a relief after the fuller triads, so use them as mini reset points for your hand.
At 100 BPM the tempo is brisk but not frantic; start at around 70 BPM hands-separate, get your left-hand chord changes smooth first, then layer the right hand in.
The trickiest spot for most students is the transition from Em back up to G or C — your fingers will want to rush it, so loop that two-bar switch until it feels automatic.
Once you can play the whole progression without looking down, bump the tempo up in small increments.
This is the kind of song that really cements your I–V–vi–IV muscle memory, and that pattern will follow you into dozens of other pop tunes.

- 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 "22" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in G, 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 "22" 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.
