Jesus, Etc. — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
31 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Jesus, Etc." by Wilco: 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 D, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with minor chords and flat-side harmony — your six chords (Am, Bb, C, Dm, F, Gm) sit beautifully together but include Bb and Gm, which will ask your fingers to find B-flats confidently.
Your left hand carries an Alberti bass pattern throughout, so start hands-separate and lock that rolling motion in at around 80 BPM before bringing it up to 120.
The peaceful ballad feel means evenness matters more than speed — keep your Alberti pattern smooth and unhurried.
The trickiest moment for most students is the shift into Bb: land your thumb on that B-flat early and let the rest of the chord settle around it.
Once that transition feels natural, loop the passage a few times to cement it.
This is the piece that'll make flat-key chords stop feeling foreign under your hands.
