Your Song — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
259 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Your Song" by Elton John: 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, 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll play a low root note followed by the chord higher up, alternating steadily, which gives the song its gentle, rocking feel.
With just five chords (C, F, G, Am, and Am7), the shapes stay comfortable, but pay close attention to the Am-to-Am7 switch: the only difference is lifting one finger to open up that minor seventh, and rushing it is the most common stumble I see.
At 116 BPM the tempo is conversational, not fast, so resist the urge to race — try it at about 80 BPM first, hands separate, until your left hand's oompah feels automatic.
Then add the right hand melody and slowly bring it up to speed.
Loop the F-to-G-to-C transitions until they feel effortless, because that's the emotional payoff of every phrase.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for any song built on simple chord movement with a steady bass — and your hands will really start feeling independent from each other.
