The Power Of Love — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
25 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "The Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis & The News: 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, 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for navigating borrowed chords — you'll move between C major territory and darker colors like Ab, Bb, Eb, and Cm7, so get comfortable finding those flat-key shapes quickly.
Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern throughout, alternating root notes with upper chord tones at 116 BPM, which means it needs to be relaxed and steady before you layer in the right hand.
Start hands-separate and loop the verse progression slowly until the Ab-to-Bb-to-C climb feels automatic under your fingers.
Watch the Fm9 and Gsus4-to-G7 transitions especially — those are the spots where most students hesitate and break tempo.
When you put hands together, drop to about 80 BPM and only speed up once your left hand feels like autopilot.
Use light sustain pedal to smooth chord changes, lifting cleanly on each new bass note so nothing muddies.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like home in your playing.
