In My Life — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
21 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "In My Life" 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 A, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a lovely way to settle into a steady left-hand oompah pattern — bass note, chord, bass note, chord — at a relaxed 80 BPM that gives you time to breathe.
Your right hand carries a singing, vocal-style melody, so aim for smooth, connected lines and resist the urge to rush phrases.
The real challenge here is the chord variety: nine chords means your left hand will meet some unexpected shapes like Dm, C, and G that sit outside the key of A.
These borrowed chords can trip you up mid-flow, so isolate those transitions hands-separate first and loop them until the jumps feel automatic.
Watch the move from F#m into A7 especially — keep your thumb anchored as a pivot.
Once the left hand feels steady on its own, layer the melody back in at half tempo.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like old friends instead of strangers.

- 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.

- 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.
