The Wind Beneath My Wings — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
23 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler: 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 G, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chord voicings — those Gmaj7 and Gmaj9 shapes will stretch your right hand just enough to start feeling natural with jazzy colors.
Your left hand has a walking bass line throughout, so I'd strongly recommend isolating it first at around 80 BPM until the pattern feels automatic; walking bass at 120 demands steady, even timing that falls apart fast if you're still thinking about note choices.
Watch the B major chord — it's the one outsider in this key of G and tends to catch people off guard, especially moving into or out of Em.
Practice that specific transition in a short loop.
Pedal generously but change it with every chord shift to keep the walking bass clean, not muddy.
Once both hands sync up, this song will genuinely solidify your confidence with smooth, sustained ballad playing and those beautiful major seventh sounds you'll use everywhere from here on.
