Sugar, Sugar — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
58 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies: 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 C, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll play a low bass note followed by the chord higher up, bouncing back and forth to create that classic pop-rock groove.
At 120 BPM it moves at a steady clip, so start slow and lock in that left-hand rhythm before adding the melody.
Your five chords — C, C6, F, G, and G7 — sit nicely under your fingers in the key of C, but watch the move from C up to F; land that left-hand jump cleanly before you speed up.
The C6 chord is just a small color change from your regular C, so listen for that subtle sweetness and don't rush past it.
Loop the first verse hands-separately until the oompah feels automatic, then layer the right hand on top.
Once both hands sync up at tempo, the whole thing locks into a playful, bouncy feel that's genuinely fun to play.
This is the piece that will make your left-hand bass-and-chord coordination feel natural for dozens of songs to come.
