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!
