Shotgun — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
48 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Shotgun" by George Ezra: 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 Bb, 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns while keeping things fun and rhythmic.
Your left hand will bounce between octave Bb, C, D, and F notes — focus on landing those cleanly with a relaxed wrist, because tension will slow you down fast at 116 BPM.
Your right hand cycles through just four chords — Bb, C, Dm, and F — so the real challenge isn't complexity, it's consistency and groove.
Watch the transition from Bb to C especially: that whole-step shift tempts you to rush.
Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM, locking in the left-hand octave rhythm until it feels automatic, then layer the right hand on top.
Once both hands are steady, bump the tempo up in small increments.
If any section feels shaky, loop it ten times before moving on.
This is the kind of song that trains your hands to hold a steady pop pulse — once you own that, dozens of songs open up.

- 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.

- 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.
