Stand — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
34 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Stand" by Donnie McClurkin: 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 Db, 85 BPM.
This arrangement sits in Db major, so get comfortable living on the black keys — your hand actually falls into a natural position once you commit to that flat-key geography.
The real challenge here is the sheer richness of the harmony: you're moving through major 7ths, 9ths, and chromatic passing chords like C7 and F7 that give gospel music its emotional pull.
Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, so focus on landing those root notes cleanly while your right hand voices the extensions above.
I'd suggest learning the verse and chorus chord progressions hands-separate first, then loop any transition where you're jumping between distant shapes — the move from Gbmaj7 into those secondary dominants tends to trip people up.
Keep it at 60 BPM until every voicing change feels deliberate, then build to 85.
This is the song that will genuinely train your ear and fingers for gospel-style extended harmony.
