Money For Nothing — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
56 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits: 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 G, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for power chords — six of the nine chords here are power shapes, so your right hand will get very comfortable snapping between Cpow, Dpow, Gpow, and their neighbors across the keyboard.
The real challenge is your left hand: that walking bass line needs to stay locked in at 120 BPM while your right hand shifts between compact power chords and the fuller voicings like Gm7 and Bb.
Start hands-separate — get that walking bass smooth and automatic before you layer anything on top.
Once you combine hands, slow it down to around 80 BPM and loop the sections where you jump from a power chord into Gm7 or Eb, because that wider stretch tends to trip people up.
Keep your wrist relaxed through the transitions and resist the urge to rush.
By the end, your power-chord vocabulary and two-hand independence will feel noticeably sharper.

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

- 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.
