You Are The Sunshine Of My Life — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
11 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" by Stevie Wonder: 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, 130 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with jazzy chord extensions in a feel-good setting.
Your left hand will cycle through shapes like Cmaj7, Cmaj9, Dm7, and F9 — chords that look intimidating on paper but sit nicely under the fingers once you find the common tones between them.
At 130 BPM the changes come at a relaxed clip, but watch the move into Eaug and the quick E7-to-Am turnaround — those are the spots where most students stumble.
Start hands-separate at about 90 BPM and loop just those two transitions until they feel automatic, then bring the tempo up gradually.
Keep your right hand light and rhythmically steady; the melody likes to float slightly behind the beat in a soulful way, so resist the urge to rush.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for voice-leading through extended chords in any key.
