Chords

I've been having a little problem recently

          Bb         A            Dm
Which is quite disturbing musically

          Bb      A       Dm
Involving a semi-tonal discrepancy

          Bb      A     Dm
Vocally and Instrumentally

Gm A You see musicians of different varieties

        Bb           A         Dm
Prefer playing in particular keys

        Bb        A          Dm
And singers too treat preferentially

    Bb           A     Dm
Those notes they tackle more proficiently

Gm A Now, you, don't have to be a member of MENSA

                Bb           A         Dm
To understand the depth of my dilemma

   Gm                         A
The two elements of me favour two different keys

        Bb          Dm Gm                   Dm
Thus the rift between my fingers and my Tenor

I love nothing more than playing songs in F

Bb                       F
It warms the very cockles of my heart

   Gm                        A
The problem is that F can leave me vocally bereft, you see

    Bb                             F
I like playing in F Major, but I like singing in...

E7 A7 F Sharp.... F Sharp.... F Sharp... Dm Dm Dm I refuse to be beholden to my hands

Bb                         F
I don't see why my Larynx should give in to their demand

Gm                               A
I will not be forced to compromise my art

Bb                                 F
So I'll keep playing in F Major, and singing in...

E7 A7 F Sharp... F Sharp... F Sharp... Dm Dm Dm I'll keep playing in F Major, but I'll keep singing in F Sharp!!!! Gm C7 F
