Don't Let Me Down — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "Don't Let Me Down" by The Beatles: 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 E, 72 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with major-seventh and seventh chord shapes in the key of E.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern — root note, then chord, root, chord — so lock that in at a slow tempo before adding the right hand melody.
At 72 BPM it's unhurried, which means every hesitation between chords will be audible, so pay special attention to the Esus4-to-E resolution and the shift from F#m to F#m7 — those small finger adjustments need to feel automatic.
I'd suggest looping just the F#m7-to-B7 transition hands-separate until it's smooth, because that's where most students stumble.
Once you can keep the left-hand oompah steady without thinking, layer in the melody and let the right hand breathe naturally with the phrasing.
This is the song that'll build your confidence moving between major, sus, and seventh chords without breaking your rhythmic flow — a skill you'll use constantly from here on out.
