Our House — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
27 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: 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, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with seventh-chord shapes in your right hand — Bm7 and F#m7 both ask you to spread across four notes cleanly, so spend a minute just landing each shape from the air until it feels automatic.
Your left hand keeps a steady block bass pattern, which sounds simple but demands consistent timing at 120 BPM; practice it alone with a metronome until it feels boring, then add the right hand.
Watch the move from D to D6 closely — it's only one note changing, but rushing it smudges the peaceful quality of the whole phrase.
The trickiest moment is the shift to that F chord, which lives outside the key of A and can catch your fingers off guard; loop the bar before it and the bar after until the transition is smooth and confident.
Once you nail that F, you'll have a real feel for how borrowed chords add emotional color — a skill that pays off in dozens of songs ahead.
