Ooo Baby Baby — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
32 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Ooo Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles: 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, 70 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chord shapes — you'll encounter Gmaj7, Gmaj9, and Am7, which sound lush but sit naturally under your right hand once you find the positions.
At 70 BPM the tempo is forgiving, so use that space to really listen to each chord change rather than rushing ahead.
Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll often sustain or repeat the same low note while your right hand moves through different voicings above it — keep that left hand relaxed and steady, almost on autopilot.
The trickiest moment for most students is the shift from Gmaj9 into Am7; practice just that two-chord transition slowly until it feels automatic.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, locking in the left-hand pedal until it's effortless, then layering the right hand on top.
Loop the verse section a few times before tackling the whole piece.
This is the song that'll train your ear to hear how major seventh and ninth chords color a simple pop progression — once you internalize that warmth, you'll recognize it everywhere.
