The Bitch Is Back — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "The Bitch Is Back" by Elton John: 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, 132 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for playing confidently in Db major, where your hands need to feel at home on all those black keys — if you're not used to that, spend a minute just landing each chord shape (Db, Ab, Gb, Fm, Eb7) cleanly before you hit play.
At 132 BPM the energy is relentless, so your left hand's block-bass pattern needs to be rock-steady; lock it in at around 90 BPM first, then bump up gradually until the groove feels automatic.
Watch the Eb7 especially — that added seventh wants to resolve to Ab, and rushing that transition is the most common stumble I see.
The move from Gb to Fm can also catch you off guard if your fingers aren't already anticipating the shift, so loop that two-chord change until it's effortless.
Once both hands are comfortable separately, bring them together at a slower tempo and focus on keeping your rhythm punchy and even — this is pop-rock, so crisp attacks matter more than sustain.
By the time you're up to speed, you'll have seriously leveled up your fluency in flat-key chord shapes, which pays off in a huge number of pop songs down the road.
