One Way Or Another — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
46 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "One Way Or Another" by Blondie: 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 A, 168 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for left-hand independence — you've got a walking bass line at 168 BPM, which means your left hand needs to stay steady and almost autopilot-confident while your right hand handles the chord hits.
Most of your chords here are power shapes (root-fifth voicings like Apow, F#pow, Bpow), so the fingering is consistent, but the quick jumps between G#pow and Apow or C#pow and Dpow will catch you off guard if you haven't drilled them slowly first.
Start your left hand alone at around 100 BPM and build up in increments of ten — the walking pattern needs to feel effortless before you layer the right hand on top.
Watch the transition from F# major to the power chords especially; the fuller shape shifting to a leaner voicing trips people up rhythmically.
Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence driving a fast rock groove with a steady, independent bass line underneath — that's a skill that transfers to dozens of songs.
