Down With The Sickness — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
9 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed: 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, 91 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build left-hand independence thanks to that Alberti bass pattern — your left hand will be rolling broken chords steadily underneath everything, so start hands-separate and get that motion feeling automatic before you add the right hand.
At 91 BPM it's not blazing fast, but the power-chord voicings on E, F♯, and F create a chromatic crunch that demands precise hand shifts; the half-step move between Fpow and F#pow is where most students stumble, so loop that transition slowly until your fingers know the distance by feel.
Watch the jump to and from the C chord as well — it's the widest leap in the set.
Once your left hand is steady, layer the right hand in and focus on locking both hands to the beat; the dramatic feel of this piece comes from rhythmic tightness, not volume.
This is the kind of song that genuinely strengthens your ability to maintain a rolling bass while shifting chord shapes quickly — a skill that transfers to dozens of other pieces.
