Free karaoke for "Everglow" by Coldplay: 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, 140 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with flowing eighth-note patterns in your right hand over steady left-hand chords β€” the key of G sits naturally under your fingers, so you can focus on keeping things smooth rather than fighting awkward hand positions.

At 140 BPM the pulse moves briskly, so start at around 80–90 BPM and lock in the left-hand chord changes first; the transitions between G and Em are forgiving, but moving cleanly to and from C requires a quick hand shift that tends to trip people up at full speed.

Once your left hand feels automatic, layer in the right-hand melody and pay close attention to where it syncopates against the beat β€” there are spots where the melody lands just before the downbeat, and rushing through those kills the song's emotional lift.

Use sustain pedal generously but change it with each new chord to avoid mud.

Loop the chorus section until the chord rhythm feels like breathing, not thinking.

This is the piece that'll really solidify your sense of phrasing over a I–V–vi–IV framework, which you'll use in countless pop songs going forward.
