Meet In The Middle — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
9 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Meet In The Middle" by Diamond Rio: 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, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to solidify your playing in the key of E, where your left hand drives the groove with an octave bass pattern — keep those octaves relaxed and even, because at 90 BPM you'll fatigue fast if you're tensing up.
Your right hand will cycle through mostly friendly diatonic chords (E, A, B, C#m), but watch out for that borrowed C major chord — it'll catch your fingers off guard if you don't anticipate the shift down from C#m.
Also pay attention to when B becomes B7; that subtle added note changes the color and you'll want to voice it cleanly.
Start hands-separate and loop the section around that C chord until it feels automatic.
Once you're comfortable, bring hands together at about 70 BPM before pushing to full tempo.
This is the piece that'll make your I–IV–V–vi moves in E feel like second nature.
