F#                 F            A#m
I've been having a little problem recently
         D#m               F         A#m
Which is quite disturbing musicalicly
            F#     F             A#m
Involving a semi-tonal discrepancy
D#m                       F
Vocally and Instrumentally

        F#           F              A#m
You see musicians of different varieties
       D#m         F          A#m
Prefer playing in particular keys
    F#                F             A#m
And singers too treat preferentially
      D#m                                F
Those notes they tackle more proficiently


                F#           F         A#m
Now, you, don't have to be a member of MENSA
   D#m                         F
To understand the depth of my dilemma
        F#          F         A#m
The two elements of me favour two different keys
         D#m              F              A#m
Thus the rift betwixt my fingers and my Tenor


F#                               C#
I like nothing more than playing instruments in F
   D#m                           F
It warms the very cockles of my heart
    F#                             C#
The trouble is that F can leave me vocally bereft, you see
       D#m           F7
I like playing in F Major, but I like singing in...
A#m
FSharp.... FSharp.... FSharp...


F#                            C#
I refuse to be beholden to my hands
  D#m                             F
I don't see why my Larynx should give in to their demands
F#                                  C#
I'll not be forced to compromise my art
    D#m                        F7
And so I'll keep playing in F Major, and singing in
A#m
F Sharp... F Sharp... F Sharp...F Sharp...Fsharp

          D#m                G#7                           C#
I'll keep playing in F Major, but I'll keep singing in F Sharp!

Intro: D

D         A      D                  G
Your love is like finger nails on a chalkboard
D         A       D               G    
Your love is like throwing myself overboard
D                A
A breakdown on a motorway
Bm               G
A heart attack on Christmas day
E
Like scaling a cliff then falling off
G
Like trying not to cough

G                                         F#

I think I&#8217;ll just keep swimming down, down, down

Your love is like sand inside a bathing suit
D         A       D             G
Your love is a symphony with the sound on mute
D               A  
A letter to the wrong address
Bm               G
Or red wine on a wedding dress
E
Like broken bones in my playing hand
G
Like trying to swallow sand


G                                         F#

I think I&#8217;ll just keep swimming down, down, down

G           D
I&#8217;m drowned
G           A
I&#8217;m drowned

D         A        D                 G            
Your love is like one last breath of salty air
D         A        D                 G
Your love is like a map that leads to nowhere
D                  A  
A wine glass on a concrete floor
Bm             G
The overuse of metaphor
E
The straight ahead in a sideways glance
G
Like the misstep in a dance


G                                         F# 
And I didn&#8217;t see this one coming, now I&#8217;m in too deep

I think I&#8217;ll just keep swimming down

There&#8217;s no point in turning 'round

I&#8217;m drowned

The answers to before you're grown up


Bbadd9
And when I grow up

On the way to work and I will go
   F
To bed late every night


Bbadd9
And I will wake up
         F
When the sun comes up and I
              Gm7
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square

    Gm7
The heavy things you have to haul
F                    C              Bbadd9
Around with you when you're a grown up


F
And when I grow up
             C
(When I grow up, when I grow up)
          Bbmaj
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
Gm7
That you have to fight beneath the bed
F             C             Bbadd9
Each night to be a grown up


                Bbadd9
And when I grow up (and when I grow up)
       F
I will have treats evey day
         Gm7
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
     F
That mums don't think are fun


                Bbadd9
And I will wake up (and I will wake up)
         F
When the sun comes up and I
               Gm7
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
    C7                 A7

Each night to be a grown up

            Bbadd9
When I grow up

Just because you find that life's not fair
   F
It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
Gm7
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
F
Nothing will change

            Bbadd9
When I grow up

Just because I find myself in this story
   F
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
Gm7
If I think the ending is fixed already
  C
I might as well be saying
  A7
I think that it's OK
    A      A   Dm
And that's not right

When I Grow Up

A		
This is my Earth
E	
And I live in it
D	
It's one third dirt
Dm
And two thirds water
A
And it rotates and revolves through space
A7
At rather an impressive pace
D			Dm
And never even messes up my hair
F#m
And here's the really weird thing
B		B7
The force created by its spin
D			A	E
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in

F#m
This is my Earth
D
And it's fine
E			           C#	  F#m
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
D
It's not perfect
A
But it's mine
E
It's not perfect

(...)

Not Perfect

Verse:
C
We don't eat pigs
G
You don't eat pigs
   Am                          F G
It seems it's been that way forever
      C
So if we don't eat pigs
    G
And you don't eat pigs
F            G            C
Why not, not eat pigs, together?

My heart says I love you but my brain's thinking fuck you

And hoping a child trafficker will abduct you

Lullaby

[Verse 1]
F
Jack and Jill went up the hill to
C/E
fetch a pail of water, so they say
Bb  
the subsequent fall was inevitable
Bbm/Db
They never stood a chance they were written that way
F
Innocent victims
C        Bb
of their story.

F
Like Romeo and Juliet, 'Twas written in the 
C
stars before they even met
Bb
That love and fate (and a touch of stupidity)
Bbm/Db
Would rob them of their hope of living happily.
F
The endings are often
C            Bb
a little bit gory.
F
I wonder why they didn't just
C            Bb
change their story.
F
We're told we have to do what we're
C            Bb
told, but surely
Bb
Sometimes you have to be
C            F
a little bit naughty.

[Chorus]
Bb
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
F
Nothing will change.
Bb
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/A
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
C
Might as well be saying
A7
you think that it's OK,
A Dm C
And that's not right.

[Interlude]Bb C/E F Bb

[Verse 2]
F
Cinderella, in the cellar,
C
Didn't have to do much as far as I could tell.
Bb
Her Godmother was two thirds fairy.
Bb
Suddenly her lot was a lot less scary.
F
But what if you haven't got
C           Bb
a fairy to fix it?
Bb
Sometimes you have to make
C           F
a little bit of mischief.

[Chorus]
Bb
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
F
Nothing will change.
Bb
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/A
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
C
Might as well be saying
A7
you think that it's OK,
A Dm C
And that's not right.
Bb              Dm C F
And if it's not right,
                Dm E7 A7
you have to put it right.

[Verse 3]
Dm
In the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt.
A
The seeds of a war in the creak of a floorboard.
Dm
A storm can begin with the flap of a wing.
Bm
The tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting.
Bb
Every day starts with the tick of a clock.
F/A
All escapes start with the click of a lock.
Gm
If you're stuck in your story and want to get out,
F/A
You don't have to cry; you don't have to shout.

Bb
'Cause if you're little, you can do a lot, you
F/A
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
F
Won't change a thing.
Bb
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
C
You might as well be saying
A
you think that it's OK.
               Dm Dm/C
And that's not right.
Bb             Dm C/E 
And if it's not right,
F              Dm E7 A7
you have to put it right.

Gm
But nobody else is gonna
C
put it right for me.
Am7
Nobody but me is gonna
D7
change my story.
Gm
Sometimes you have to be
C            C F
a little bit naughty.

Naughty

Am
In our modern free spoken society
            G
There is a word that we still hold taboo
   F                                     E
A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue
Am                                     G
Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word
            F                                       E
With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords
            F               G            Am
A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N

                  F                    G                   E
Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend
Am                                          G  
And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to 
F                                         E
Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use
Am                           G
So never under estimate the power that language imparts
F                                           E
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts
                 F                                                    G
A couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it
            Am                      G                 F
An I and an N in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell 
        E
it out again

Am G F E G Am x2

Yeah

Am            G                         F     E  G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Am            G                         F     E  G             
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
     F
So listen to me if you care for your health
     G                              E
You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself
Am            G                         F     E  G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Am                              G
When you are a ginger life is pretty hard
F                                 E
Years of ritual bullying in the school yard
Am                          G
Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants
F                     E
No invitation to the high school dance
         Am                            G
But you get up and learn to hold your head up
     F                                 E
You try to keep your cool and not get het up
     Am                                G
But until the feeling of ill is truly let up
         F                      E
Then the word is ours and ours alone don't you know

I'm looking forward to Christmas

And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
                                       Bb
The commercialisation of an ancient religion

And the westernisation of a dead Palestinian

Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer

               C7                                        Bb
To the miseducation of children who in tax-exempt institutions

And taught to externalise blame

And to feel ashamed
                                        F
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
                      C
But I quite like the songs.


F
I'm not expecting big presents

They'll be drinking white wine in the sun.


    Bb
And you my baby girl

My jetlagged infant daughter
           Gm7
You'll be handed round the room

Like a puppy at a primary school

And you don't understand

White Wine In The Sun

An 'emotional' tune that has fun lyrics. Tim Minchin is Australian, but you can't really tell. Trying to show that he can send out a serious message, Minchin explains how plastic is the bane of the universe and that we can only save our planet by eliminating it and &quot;taking our canvas bags to the supermarket&quot;. Of course, this message is punctuated by the usual splashes of humour that Minchin has made his trademark.

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

Out Of The Darkness

LA RE
Jo et duré a casa si fa mal temps
MI FA#m
Jo t’empararé si un cas tens por
SIm MI
Jo te cuidaré si estàs malalta

De tot cor, de tot cor
RE REm LA
De tot cor

MI RE DO#m-SIm-LA

FA#m DO#m
Estic a punt d’anar-me’n
RE LA RE
Mes abans de partir et diré
REm LA
Que et duc dins es pensament

FA#m DO#m
No deix de recordar-te
RE LA RE
I alen els teus alens tot calents
REm SIm MI
De lluny i de prop me tens


Jo et duré...

FA#m DO#m
I a dalt de s’escenari
RE LA RE
Quan estic concentrat cantant
REm MI
Jo sempre te tenc present

FA#m DO#m
Perquè m’ets necessari
RE LA
Com s’aire que respir
RE REm SIm MI
Necessit estar amb tu en tot moment


Jo et duré... ( bis )
