Try Everything — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

37 people have learned this song

Free karaoke for "Try Everything" by Shakira: 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, 120 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to lock in your I–V–vi–IV progressions in the key of C, cycling through C, G, Am, and F with a steady block-bass pattern in your left hand.

At 120 BPM the tempo is upbeat but manageable — start at around 80 BPM hands-separate so your left hand can memorize those root-note positions without thinking.

The trickiest moments come when G shifts briefly to Gsus4 or Gpow: your right hand needs to swap just one note while keeping the rhythm perfectly even, so loop those two-bar transitions until the finger swap feels automatic.

Watch out for rushing during the chorus — the energy makes everyone speed up, so count eighth notes out loud until the groove sits in your body.

Once this clicks, you'll have the core pop chord cycle under your fingers for dozens of other songs.
