Mama — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
17 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Mama" by Spice Girls: 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, 104 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build left-hand independence thanks to its oompah bass pattern — your left hand alternates between a low root note and a mid-range chord chunk on every beat, which at 104 BPM sits in a comfortable sweet spot for beginners.
Start hands-separate and really lock in that left-hand pulse before adding the melody.
Of your six chords, watch the move into B minor — it's the one shape that tends to trip people up, so loop any passage where it appears until the transition feels automatic.
Also keep an ear out for the C major chord; it's borrowed from outside the key of D and gives the song its warmth, but it can catch you off guard if you're not expecting it.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid oompah feel you can carry into dozens of other songs.

- 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.
- Can I change the key of "Mama" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in D, 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) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.

- 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.
