Lyrics

(C7)Mo na (F)Li sa, Mo na Li sa men have named you:

You’re so (F#dim)like the la dy with the mys tic (Gm7)smile.

Is it (Gm)on ly ’cause you’re lone ly they have (C7)blamed you

for that Mo na Li sa strange ness in your (F)smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lov er, Mo na Li sa,

or is (F7)this your way to hide a bro ken (Bb)heart?

(Gm)Man y (Bbm)dreams have been brought to your (F)door step.

(F#dim)They just (Gm)lie there,

(C)and they (F)die there.

(F7)Are you (Bb)warm, are you (Bdim)real, Mo na (F)Li sa, or just a (C7)cold and lone ly, love ly work of (F)art?

Is there a karaoke version of "Mona Lisa" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Mona Lisa" by Nat King Cole. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
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 "Mona Lisa" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in F, 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.
Can I slow "Mona Lisa" down to learn the words and chords?
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.
