Count On Me — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

94 people have learned this song

Free karaoke for "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars: 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, 176 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand "oompah" bass pattern — that bouncy alternation between a single bass note and the chord above it, which gives the song its upbeat feel.

At 176 BPM it moves quickly, so start at half tempo and lock in your left hand alone before adding the melody.

Your seven chords are all diatonic to C major, meaning no sharps or flats, but watch the shift from Dm to Dm7 — that added C note is subtle and easy to miss.

The Em chord tends to trip people up too, since it appears less often and your fingers forget where to land.

Loop those two transitions until they're automatic.

Once both hands feel steady separately, combine them in short four-bar phrases rather than top-to-bottom runs.

This is the piece that will make oompah bass feel natural in your hands for every pop song that follows.
