I got the right sound using a capo on the second fret (maybe my guitar
isn't tuned right....hehe...you could do it without one)
Intro: E G E G
G Bm Am Am7 Bm Am
Am7 (2x)
D7 C7 G
G D Em
I met him in a crowded room
G D Em
Where people go to drink away their gloom
Am Em C
He sat me down and so began
G D G
The story of a charmless man
G D Em
Educated the expensive way
G D Em
He knows his claret from his beaujolais
Am Em C
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
G D G
But then nature didn't make him that way
He went....
G D E
shalalala la lala (2x)
G E G
He thinks his educated airs
E G
Those family shares
Bm Am Am7
Will protect him
Bm Am Am7
That we'll respect him
D7 E G
He moves in circles of friends
E G
Who just pretend
Bm Am Am7
That they like him
Bm Am Am7
He does the same to them
D7
And when you put it all together
C7 G
There's the model of a charmless man
lalala......
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
lalala.........
He talks at speed
He gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
Guitar break:
(play over)
G D E
G D E
Am C D
G C G
He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That you'll respect him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
G D E
lalalallalalala (3x)
G D
lalalallalalala
C D
lalalallalalala
C D7 G
lalalallalalala...........The End!
**************corrections/improvements welcome!!!!!**************
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUR tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
