Chords for I'm Glad I'm Not A Tenor

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] All [Dm] the good [Eb] tunes go [Bb] to tenors.
[Cm] In the opera _ [F] world it would _ [F] appear
_ [Gm] that _ [Am]
tessitura can [Eb] alone [Dm] ensure a gorgeous [Cm] melody
[C] that people want to [F] hear. _
_ [Gb] Well I'm not hooked [B] on _ essundorm.
_ _ And [Ab] to prove my case, [F] I'll now perform a little [D] song
[G] to make it absolutely [C]
clear.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] I'm glad [Gb] I'm not [G] a [C] tenor, _ [Am] for anyone [Abm] can [G] _
[C] see
[F] they're _ [Gb] _ [G] Philistines and drama [Ab] queens
and [F] rarely [D]
over [G] five [C] foot three.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C] Yes, I'm [F] glad [Gb] I'm not a [C] tenor. _
[Am] Why would [Abm] I want it [G] so?
[C]
To [F] have to [Gb] try to [Gm] sing so [Abm]
high
[Am] when it's [D] so nice and [G] comfy [C] way [F] down _ [G] low.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] Yet since [B] my first [C] voice [F] lesson, [D] I've heard,
[G] you've got the [F] stuff.
_ [Db] But higher [Bb] scales each [Ab]
session were [E] never _ higher.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ So I'm _ [Gbm] glad I'm not [Gm] a [C] tenor.
_ [Am] But people [Abm] aren't [Gm] convinced.
_ [F] They say the things [G] I've said to you
[Am] and nothing new [Db] like,
_ [Gm]
tenors get the [C] good tunes.
_ Well [Gm] I am here [C] to say that's just [F] not true.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Take this _ song which [Abm] you _ agree _ _ _
_ [E] has an [Dbm] _ awesome _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ melody. _
_ _ [B] _ Tenors can _ argue, _ _ rant and _ hiss.
_ [B] No [Gb] tune of theirs [Ebm] comes even [Gb] _ _ close to _ this.
[Eb] _ _ _ Hear _ how it [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ modulates.
[Ab] What _ _ joy this noble [Eb] _ tune _ [Ab] _ _ [Abm] creates.
[E] _ And it's _ [Dbm] only one of so [Gb] _
_ [B] many _ _ _ [E] greats.
[Dbm] All for [B] the melody.
[Gb] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ Why [Abm] would I [B] care to sing a tenor part at [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] all?
With so much music at [Db] my back and [Dbm] call.
When you've got [Gb] _
_ tunes for _ baritones [Ab] this _ strong,
[Ebm] you just can't go _ wrong.
_ _ _ [D]
Let's move along _ _ _
to _ [G] _ those _ _ _ wondrous _ _ Verdi _ [D] _
anthems.
_ Beautiful _ [G] as _ _ any _ tenor tune you [G] can name.
[Ab] And [Am] the thrill as the rhythm [G] _ changes
[Abm] makes you [Am]
wonder how [D] cruelly _ strained it is.
Had [G] some _ _ baritones wished [D] that they [A] had _ [E] been
_ [Em] tenor liars [G]
instead?
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Let's skip ahead
_ _ [Db] _ _
To _ [F] _ _ _ _ Wagner _ [A] _ [Gm] the _ _ _ _ man [Ab] who'll _ _ _ [C] _
_ save [Db] the _ _ day
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Ab] His tunes would [F] _ _ _ _
never [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ go [F] astray
_ _ For _ _ _ _ _ _ they have [Gm] _
_ _ _ simply _ [Ab] no _ [E] _ _ _ [F] _ _ relation
_ _ _ _ [Ab] To _ _ _ that _ _ _ _ _ Italian _ [Dbm] _ _ _ sheep _ _ [C] _ sensation.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [E] There it is [D] again.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ No, no, _ [F] this is [C] not _ [Em] what _ this should be.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] Just so there's no [C] doubt, _ I'll [E] drown it out.
_ [A] Bravo Figaro, bravo _ _ _ _ [D] bravissimo.
A te vuoi bona, a te [E] vuoi bona.
_ _ _ _ [C]
Buona e adoro _ adagar.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ I'm glad [A] I'm not [Bbm] a tenor.
[Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] I've never sunk that [Db] low.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ But [Ab] one admits [Bbm] some tenor [B] hits are [Cm]
sort of,
[C] _ well, _ _ _ [Db] _
agreeable.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] And so _ _ _ [Db] the only thing [Eb] to _ _ say is
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Vincerò, _ _ _ _ finnate. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
