Author: Saxy I’ve been having quite a problem recently ________Bb*__________A___________Dm Which is quite disturbing musicalically ________Bb___________ A________Dm Involving a semitonal discrepancy __Bb__________A/Bb** ______Dm Vocally and instrumentally Gm__________________A (Bbo/A***)(A) (a tempo) You see musicians of different varieties Prefer playing in particular keys And singers, too, treat preferentially Those notes they tackle more proficiently Now you don’t have to be a member of MENSA ____________Bb__________A________Dm To understand the depths of my dilemma ___Gm______________________ A The two elements of me favour two different keys ________Bb_Gm____Dm_____Gm_Eo_______Dm Thus a rift betwixt my fingers and my tenor ______Eo7___________A7(b9)_______Dm I love nothing more than playing instruments in F Bb__________________________F It warms the very cockles of my heart __Gm________________________A The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft, you see _____Bb_______________________F I like playing in F major… but I like singing in F sharp ______Eo7__________A7(b9)________________Dm I refuse to be beholden to my hands I don’t see why my larynx should give in to their demands I will not be forced to compromise my art And so I just keep playing in F major and singing in F sharp F sharp F sharp F sharp F sharp I’ll just keep playing in F major but I’ll keep singing in F sharp ____________Gm___________C7________________________F (F C7 F) *Bb can be played as Bb/G to make a Gm7 anywhere if it sounds more right to you. Sounds like a Bb in the bass to me, but I’m not sure. **=not sure, it’s probably an accordion thing. Easy mode=play it normal, Bb->A->D. Hard mode=look at the first page of the thread for what that music has. ***This is that odd chord. Easy mode=A (Dm/A) (A), which sounds alright but not quite right. The little “o” means diminished (don’t know the alt code for the superscript degree symbol), which makes it an A7(b9), for those who are really technical.
