This is a great song, but the strumming in the Youtube video from the bathroom
sessions is played with feeling not strict timing. Enjoy! Be sure to watch the video for timings.

Verse:
B7B7
You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him
B7B7
Crumble to a ball around his feet
B7B7
But he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared,
E minorEm
He's the most peculiar man you'd care to meet.
Chorus:
E minorEm
You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor
E minorEm
He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door
E minorEm
He's not the king of Bedside Manor

Verse
He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind that
I followed you into this shop
but I couldn't help but notice oh my god that riding crop
Sticking out of your - Your haversack,
Well uh, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback.
Verse
He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar
He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star.
You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor,
quite some time ago.
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show.
Chorus
E minorEm
You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor

He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door

Moondance Interlude
C majorC X2
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moon dance
7th Fret Harmonic
With the stars up above in your eyes
A augmentedA fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
E minorEm
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
B7B7
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
A minorAm
Can I just have one a' more moon dance with you, my love
B7B7
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Verse
B7B7
Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn
Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone
From the house next door to his house on the lane,
He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain.
Chorus
