So, when I’m (F)all choked up and I can’t find the words,

Always Remember Us This Way — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "Always Remember Us This Way" by Lady Gaga: 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 C, 66 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to develop expressive control at a slow tempo — 66 BPM feels spacious, but keeping your rhythm steady without rushing through held notes is a real skill.

Your left hand uses a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on a single low note while chords shift above it, so focus on keeping that bass smooth and connected.

Five of your six chords sit naturally in the key of C, but watch out for the B♭ — it's a borrowed chord that adds emotional weight, and your fingers may hesitate the first few times you reach for it.

Practice the G to Gsus4 resolution separately until the fourth-finger stretch feels automatic.

I'd suggest hands apart first, looping the verse until transitions feel effortless, then layering hands together.

This is the song that'll train you to make simple chords sound genuinely moving through touch and timing alone.
