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.
