Tim Minchin – F Sharp (Guitar)

Bb            A7               Dm
I've been having a little problem recently

     Gm/E      A7              Dm
Which is quite disturbing musicallically

  Gm         A7                Dm
Involving a semitonal discrepancy

 Gm/E                 A7
Vocally and instrumentally

       Bb            A7               Dm
You see musicians of different varieties

      Gm/E        A7             Dm
Prefer playing in particular keys

    Bb               Gm               Dm/A
And singers too treat preferentially

      Gm                    A7b9
Those notes they tackle more proficiently

              Bb           A7        Dm
Now you don't have to be a member of MENSA

    Gm/E                    A7
To understand the depth of my dilemma

       Bb    Bb/G  Dm/A    Gm/E   A7        Dm
The two elements of me favour two different keys

       Gm/E          A7               Dm
Thus a rift betwixt my fingers and my tenor

Bb                               F
I like nothing more than playing instruments in F

    Gm/E                   A7
It warms the very cockles of my heart

    Bb                             F
The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft

               Gm/E
You see I like playing in F major

A7
   But I like singing in F-

    Bb                        F
I refuse to be beholden to my hands

   Gm/E                            A7
I don't see why my larynx should give in to their demands

     Bb                             F
I'll not be forced to compromise my art

   Gm/E                            A7
And so I'll just keep playing in F major and singing in F-
