F Sharp Chords & Lyrics by Tim Minchin
F Sharp
guitar chords lyrics
I've been having a little problem recently
Bb A Dm
Which is quite disturbing musically
Bb A Dm
Involving a semi-tonal discrepancy
Bb A Dm
Vocally and Instrumentally
Gm A
You see musicians of different varieties
Bb A Dm
Prefer playing in particular keys
Bb A Dm
And singers too treat preferentially
Bb A Dm
Those notes they tackle more proficiently
Gm A
Now, you, don't have to be a member of MENSA
Bb A Dm
To understand the depth of my dilemma
Gm A
The two elements of me favour two different keys
Bb Dm Gm Dm
Thus the rift between my fingers and my Tenor
I love nothing more than playing songs in F
Bb F
It warms the very cockles of my heart
Gm A
The problem is that F can leave me vocally bereft, you see
Bb 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
Bb 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
Bb 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
