[Intro]
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


[Verse 1]
              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-

[Verse 2]
    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-

[Outro] 
          Gm6 Gm Gm6 Gm
I'll keep playing in F major
C7sus4
    But I'll keep singing in F-
F
