Desafinado (Englisch) (Listen to midi)

 

  C                                             D

1.  If you say my singing is off key, my love,

Dm                              G                          Em                 - A

    you would hurt my feelings, don`t you see, my love?

Dm                        E                        A                            A7

    I wish I had an ear like yours, a voice that would behave,

D                     D7                   Dm                      - G

   all I have is feeling and the voice God gave.

 

    C                                              D

2.    You insist my music goes against the rules,

Dm                               G                    Em                    - A

    yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools.

Dm                                 E         Am

    I wrote this song for you, but you don`t care,

                 E                  G                 E                  - G

    it`s a crooked song, ah, but my heart is there !

 

              E                              G                       B7

    The thing that you would see if you would play the part,

E                        G                  B7

    is even if I`m out of tune I have a gentle heart.

      Bm                      Em                  Am             - D

    I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex,

           Dm                       F                Dm            - G

    and now all I have developed is a complex.        

 

    + Instr. = verse 1

 

       C                                          D

3. Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh, my love,

Dm                          G                   Em                       A

    and forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of

Dm                           E                    Am                         D

   a life of love and music with someone who`ll understand,

           Dm                               F

    that even though I may be out of tune,

                  Dm                                    F

    when I attempt to say how much I love you.

           Dm                                G                    

    And all that matters is the message that I bring.

               C

    Which is: my dear one, I love you. (capo 5th)  (George Michael)
