Until... — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
22 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Until..." by Sting: 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 D, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for navigating chromatic harmony — you'll move through thirty different chords, many of them outside the home key of D, including clusters like Abmaj7, Fm7, and Cm7 that will stretch your hand into less familiar shapes.
Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern throughout, so start by drilling that independently until it feels automatic; you need it on autopilot so your brain can focus on the chord changes above.
At 135 BPM the tempo is deceptively brisk for a ballad, so slow it down to around 90 first and loop any section where you're jumping between sharp-key and flat-key chords — the Bm7-to-Abmaj7 type shifts are where most students stumble.
Use sustained pedal to smooth those leaps, but change it cleanly on each new bass note or you'll get mud.
Once the transitions feel predictable, bring the tempo up in small increments.
This is the piece that'll make distant key changes feel normal under your fingers — stick with it.

- 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 "Until..." to match my voice or capo?
