Lyrics

Your day breaks, your mind aches, you find that (C)all her words of (Fmaj7)kind ness lin ger (Bb6)on when she no (C)long er needs you.

She wakes up, she makes up, she takes her (C)time and does n’t (Fmaj7)feel she has to (Bb6)hur ry; she no (C)long er needs you.

And in her (Dm)eyes

you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears

cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.

You want her,

you need her,

and yet you (C)don’t be lieve her (Fmaj7)when she says her (Bb6)love is dead; you (C)think she needs you.

You stay home,

she goes out,

she says that (C)long a go she (Fmaj7)knew some one but (Bb6)now he’s gone; she (C)does n’t need him.

Your day breaks,

your mind aches,

there will be (C)times when all the (Fmaj7)things she said will (Bb6)fill your head; you (C)won’t for get her.

And in her (Dm)eyes you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.

Yes β€” this is a free karaoke slide for "For No One" by The Beatles. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does β€” 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.

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) β€” the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "For No One" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes β€” 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.
