i’ve been having a little problem recently
A# A Dm
which is quite disturbing musically
A# A Dm
involving a semi – tonal discrepancy
A# A Dm
vocally and instrumentally
Gm A

you see musicians of different varieties
A# A Dm
prefer playing in particular keys
A# A Dm
and singers too treat preferentially
A# A Dm
those notes they tackle more proficiently
Gm A

now , you , don’t have to be a member of mensa
A# A Dm
to understand the depth of my dilemma
Gm A
the two elements of me favour two different keys
A# Dm Gm Dm
thus the rift between my fingers and my tenor

i love nothing more than playing songs in F
A# F
it warms the very cockles of my heart
Gm A
the problem is that F can leave me vocally bereft , you see
A# 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
A# 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
A# 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
