How Can You Mend A Broken Heart — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
49 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by Bee Gees: 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 E, 72 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to develop your chord vocabulary in the key of E, and that pedal bass pattern in your left hand is your anchor — keep it steady and smooth while your right hand handles the melodic line above.
At 72 BPM you have breathing room, but don't let that fool you; the real challenge is navigating nine distinct chord shapes cleanly, especially the Bsus4 to B resolution and the shift from Emaj7 into C#m.
Practice those two transitions hands-separate first, looping them until the fingering feels automatic.
Watch your right hand during the vocal-melodic phrases — they'll want to rush ahead of the beat, so count internally and let the sadness in the melody breathe.
Your F#m7 shape may feel awkward at first; drill it in isolation until you can land it without looking down.
This is the piece that'll make jazzy seventh chords and sus voicings feel like second nature in your playing.
