Dreams — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
41 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Dreams" by The Cranberries: 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, 126 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a pedal bass pattern — your left hand will anchor on steady bass notes while your right hand floats through the chord changes above, which is exactly what gives the song its dreamy, peaceful feel.
Start hands-separate at around 90 BPM so you can really lock in that left-hand pulse before layering the right hand on top.
Pay close attention to the shift between B7 and the C and Csus2 shapes — those chromatic moves sit outside the key of E and can trip you up if you're not anticipating the hand position change.
The Amaj7 voicing is a nice stretch too; keep your fingers close to the keys so you're not lunging.
Once both hands feel natural, bring it up to 126 BPM gradually.
This is the kind of piece that trains you to keep one hand on autopilot while the other stays expressive — a skill you'll use constantly from here on out.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Dreams" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in E, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "Dreams" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
