Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Don't Jump Off Roof, Dad (Keillor)
I've just checked out the Tommy Cooper version on Youtube which is the one that is most familiar on this side of the pond, and was horrified to realise that they play a glaringly wrong chord on the record.
on the line "why don't you give us a break", assuming the Key it is being sung in is F, then the chord on "break" should most definitely be an A major. On the record however, they just keep playing F.
