Wheels — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
16 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Wheels" by Jamie Cullum: 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, 138 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended major chords — your right hand will move between C, C6, and Cmaj7 shapes, which only differ by one or two notes each time, so focus on keeping your hand relaxed and letting just one finger shift while the others stay anchored.
Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll sit on the root note C for long stretches before moving to F or G — simple, but at 138 BPM you need that hand locked in steady and even so the rhythm doesn't drift.
Start hands-separate and slow, especially through the F to F6 to Fmaj shifts where the voicing changes are subtle and easy to fumble.
Once you can loop the verse smoothly at around 100 BPM, gradually bring it up to tempo.
This is the piece that'll make jazzy major-chord extensions feel like second nature under your fingers.

- 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 "Wheels" to match my voice or capo?

- 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.
