Thunderstruck — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
87 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC: 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 B, 146 BPM.
This arrangement will push your hand independence hard — your left hand locks into a pedal bass pattern that drives relentlessly at 146 BPM, while your right hand punches through a mix of power chords and fuller shapes like A, B, and E.
The power chords (Bpow, Epow, Dpow, Apow) sit comfortably under your fingers once you nail the shapes, but switching between those open fifths and the standard chord voicings mid-phrase is where most students stumble.
Start hands-separate at around 90 BPM and resist the urge to speed up before your left-hand pedal tone feels automatic — it needs to be on autopilot so your brain can focus on the right-hand rhythm hits.
Loop the transitions between B and E sections until they're clean, because that's where timing falls apart at full tempo.
Once you've got it, you'll have real rock-keyboard stamina and the kind of locked-in rhythmic drive that transfers to dozens of other high-energy tracks.

- 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 "Thunderstruck" to match my voice or capo?

- Can I slow "Thunderstruck" 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.
