Misty — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
84 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Misty" by Sarah Vaughan: 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 C, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get your hands around real jazz harmony — you'll move through major seventh, minor seventh, dominant, and diminished shapes, so expect your fingers to learn new neighborhoods on the keyboard.
Your left hand carries a walking bass line at a relaxed 80 BPM, which sounds easy until you try to keep it steady under chord changes like Cmaj7 to C#dim7 to Dm7 — that chromatic walk-up is where most students stumble, so isolate it and loop it slowly until the fingering feels automatic.
Practice hands separately first: get the walking bass confident on its own before layering in the melody.
Watch the diminished chords especially (C#dim7, Fdim7, Cdim7) — they resolve beautifully but the finger shapes are compact and easy to misplace.
Use gentle sustain pedal, changing on each new chord.
This is the piece that'll make seventh-chord voicings feel like second nature to you.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
