"Charmless Man" (Blur) Album: The Great Escape. Transcribed by: me! Email: Piper707@hotmail.com or/ above address. 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!!!!!**************
