Remove Ads Bb A7 DmI've been having a little problem recently
Em7b5 A7 DmWhich is quite disturbing musicalically
Gm DmInvolving a semi-tonal discrepancy
Em7b5 A7Vocally and instrumentally
Bb A7 DmYou see musicians of different varieties
Em7b5 A7 DmPrefer playing in particular keys
Bb Gm Dm/AAnd singers too treat preferentially
Gm A7b9Those notes they tackle more proficiently
Bb A7 DmNow you don't have to be a member of Mensa
Em7b5 A7To understand the depths of my dilemma
Bb Bb/G Dm/AThe two elements of me
Em7b5 A7 DmFavor two different keys
Em7b5 A7 DmThus the rift betwixt my fingers and my tenor
Bb F
I like nothing more than playing instruments in F
Em7b5 A7It warms the very cockles of my heart
Bb F
The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft
Em7b5 A7 Dm
You see, I like playing in F major, but I like singing in F sharp
Dm
F shaaarp
F shaaarp
Bb FI refuse to be beholden to my hands
Em7b5 A7I don’t see why my larynx should give in to their demands
Bb FI'll not be forced to compromise my art
And so I just keep playing in F major
Dm
And singing in F shaaaarpp, F shaaaaarp, F shaaaaarp
Gm6 C7sus4
I’ll keep playing in F major
F
But I’ll keep singing in F sharp
