To learn Stephen Bishop - On And On chords with lyrics, centre your learning around these crucial chords: B, Abm, E, B, Ab, E, F#, B, Abm, C#m. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 51 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 102. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: B.
