First — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
9 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "First" by Lauren Daigle: 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 C, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with sustained, expressive playing in the key of C.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern — root note, then chord — so keep that motion steady and relaxed; think of it as a gentle rocking rather than a bounce.
The chord set looks bigger than it is: F, Fmaj7, and F6 all share the same left-hand root, and Csus4 is just your C chord with one finger sliding up to F — practice that tiny shift until it feels automatic.
Watch the G-to-Am transition especially; at 120 BPM it comes faster than you'd expect in a peaceful ballad.
I'd suggest hands-separate first, looping the verse pattern in your left hand until it's effortless, then layering in the melody.
Once both hands sync on that oompah groove, use light sustain pedal to connect the phrases without muddying them.
This is the piece that will lock in your sense of how small chord variations — like Csus4 resolving back to C — add real emotional color with almost no extra effort.

- 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 "First" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in C, 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 "First" 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.
