The Prayer — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
110 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "The Prayer" by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli: 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 F, 72 BPM.
This arrangement will really stretch your chord vocabulary — with 22 different chords in the key of B♭, your left hand needs to navigate some rich harmonic shifts, so start by drilling the block-bass patterns hands-separate until each shape feels automatic under your fingers.
Pay special attention to the transitions around the key-change moments: moving between B♭ and D♭ or landing cleanly on that A7 chord demands quick repositioning, so loop those two-bar passages slowly before you try to connect full phrases.
At 72 BPM the tempo is forgiving, but that spaciousness means every note rings out — use sustain pedal deliberately, lifting cleanly on chord changes so you don't blur the Ab into the Gm7 or muddy those sus4 voicings.
Your right hand can breathe with the melody; don't rush eighth notes just because you have time.
Once hands come together, play through at around 55 BPM and build up gradually.
This is the piece that'll make chromatic chord movement feel natural to you — once these 22 shapes are in your hands, simpler progressions will feel effortless.

- 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.
