Free karaoke for "Good Night" by The Beatles: 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, 80 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a gorgeous way to expand your chord vocabulary β€” thirteen chords in one gentle ballad means your hands will quietly absorb shapes like Gmaj7, Am7, Cmaj7, and C6 without the pressure of a fast tempo.

Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern, so focus first on landing those octaves cleanly and in rhythm before adding the right hand.

The trickiest moments are the shifts between closely related chords β€” G to Gmaj7 to G7, or Am to Am7 β€” where only one note changes; isolate those transitions and move slowly until your fingers feel the smallest possible movement.

Watch the Dm chord when it appears: it's borrowed from outside the key and can catch you off guard if you're on autopilot.

Practice hands-separate at around 60 BPM first, then bring them together.

At 80 BPM and this mood, evenness matters more than speed β€” this is the piece that'll make extended and major-seventh chords feel like home.

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 G, 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 "Good Night" 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.
