Let Me Down Slowly — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "Let Me Down Slowly" by Alec Benjamin: 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, 74 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with block chords in the key of E, where your left hand will sit comfortably around shapes like C#m, G#m, A, and B for most of the song.
The block bass pattern keeps your left hand steady—no fancy arpeggios—so focus on clean, even transitions between chord shapes.
Watch out for that C major chord: it's borrowed from outside the key and will feel like a surprising hand shift, so isolate any passage containing it and loop it slowly until the move feels automatic.
The B6 voicing is another one to drill on its own before playing through.
At 74 BPM you have breathing room, but don't rush—start even slower, hands separate, and lock in the rhythm before combining.
This is the piece that'll make your minor-chord transitions in sharp keys feel second nature.
