Do Right Woman Do Right Man — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
7 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Do Right Woman Do Right Man" by Aretha Franklin: 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 A, 84 BPM.
This arrangement is a beautiful workout for your left hand — that walking bass pattern needs to stay smooth and even at 84 BPM, so practice it alone first until it feels almost automatic.
Your right hand will navigate nine chords, and the trickiest transitions are between F#m7 and Dmaj7, then into B7 — those shapes shift across different positions quickly, so loop those changes slowly until your fingers find them without hesitation.
Pay attention to the move from C#m down to A as well; it's easy to rush that moment in a ballad this tender.
Use the sustain pedal gently, lifting cleanly on each chord change so the walking bass doesn't blur.
Once both hands feel confident separately, bring them together at half tempo and gradually build up.
This is the kind of song that will genuinely strengthen your ability to keep a steady, independent left hand underneath expressive right-hand chords — a skill you'll use in every ballad from here on out.
