Get It Together — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
15 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Get It Together" by India.Arie: 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 A, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your chord vocabulary — sixteen distinct shapes including major sevenths, minor sevenths, and that ear-catching Aaug, so your right hand will be stretching into extended voicings like Bbmaj9 and C9 that demand precise finger placement.
Your left hand follows an octave bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but requires steady independence while your right hand navigates all those chord changes.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is keeping your rhythm locked in during transitions between distantly related chords — moving from, say, Gm7 to E7 means reshaping your hand quickly without rushing the beat.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, then looping the sections where the chord density is highest until the shapes feel automatic.
Slow the tempo to 70 BPM for those trouble spots and only speed up once transitions are smooth.
By the end, you'll have a genuinely solid grip on seventh-chord voicings that will carry you through dozens of R&B tunes.
