The Show — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
56 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "The Show" by Lenka: 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, 124 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand's "oompah" bass pattern — that steady low-note-then-chord bounce that drives the whole song at 124 BPM.
Most of your chords sit comfortably in C major territory (C, F, G, Am), but watch out for the G#dim7 — it's the spicy one that creates that bittersweet, melancholic pull, and your fingers will want to fumble it the first few times.
Practice that transition in isolation, slowly, until the shape feels automatic.
Also pay attention to the Gsus4-to-G resolution; let the sus4 hang just long enough before releasing.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting that left-hand oompah groove locked in before layering the melody on top.
Once both hands are steady at around 90 BPM, gradually push toward full tempo.
The Fmaj7 adds a lovely color — voice it cleanly.
This is really the song that'll build your confidence moving between simple and chromatic chords without losing your rhythmic footing.

- 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.
- Can I change the key of "The Show" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "The Show" down to learn the words and chords?
- 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.
