Creep — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
80 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Creep" by Radiohead: 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, 92 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand — the oompah bass pattern means you'll be bouncing between root notes and chord tones steadily at 92 BPM, so keep that motion relaxed and even from the start.
With 17 chord shapes in play, the real challenge is the chromatic shifts between G, B, C, and Cm — especially that B to C transition where your fingers barely move but the voicing changes color dramatically.
Practice hands separately first, and loop the verse progression slowly until the left-hand pattern feels automatic; once it's locked in, your right hand can focus on melody phrasing without rushing.
Watch out for the sus4 chords (Gsus4, Bsus4, Csus4, Dsus4) — they pop up as emotional suspensions, so let them ring with a touch of sustain pedal before resolving.
The move into Cm and Cm6 is where most students stumble; isolate those two bars and drill them at half tempo until the minor shift feels natural under your fingers.
Stick with it — this song will seriously strengthen your ability to navigate between major, minor, and suspended voicings in real time, a skill that transfers to hundreds of other pieces.
