You Are My Destiny — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
205 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "You Are My Destiny" by Paul Anka: 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 Bb, 144 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll alternate between a low root note and a higher chord chunk in a steady boom-chap rhythm that gives the song its warm, swaying feel.
At 144 BPM it moves along briskly, so start at half speed and lock in that left-hand pattern until it feels automatic before adding the melody.
Your five chords include a couple of seventh shapes — A7 and E7 — that add a lovely romantic pull, but watch the transition from Gm to A7 especially; the jump can catch you off guard if you haven't mapped the fingering in advance.
Practice that two-bar shift in a slow loop until your hand finds it by feel.
The right-hand melody is vocal and singable, so aim for smooth, connected lines rather than punchy attacks.
Keep your pedal changes crisp on each chord switch to avoid muddiness in the key of B♭.
This is the piece that'll make oompah bass feel like second nature — once you own this pattern, dozens of classic pop songs will open right up for you.
