Airplanes — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
138 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Airplanes" by B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams: 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 F#, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build left-hand independence thanks to that walking bass line — at 90 BPM it's not blazing fast, but keeping it smooth and even under your right-hand chords takes real control.
Start hands-separate: get the walking pattern locked in until it feels automatic, then layer in your chord shapes.
Playing in F# means you'll live on the black keys, so stay relaxed and keep your wrist high enough to move freely.
Watch the shift from F#m7 to Dsus2 — that jump catches people off guard, so loop just that transition slowly until your fingers know the distance.
The Apow chord adds a nice rhythmic punch; land it cleanly rather than rushing through it.
Once both hands sync up, you'll feel that melancholic groove click into place.
This is the piece that'll make walking bass feel natural to you going forward.

- 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.
