 A      G#m   F#m
I met him in a crowlded room
       A      G#m    F#m
Where people go to drink away their gloom
  D        C#m  Bm
He sat me down and so began
   A     E     A
The story of a charmless man

  A      G#m   F#m
Educated the expensive way
       A        G#m  F#m
he knows the claret from his beaujolais
       D         C#m  Bm
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
     A       E       A
But then nature didn't make him that way (he went)

A      G#m  F#m
Na na na na na na na
   A      G#m  F#m
Na na na na na na na na na

        A
He think's his educated airs
Those family shares
    D
Will protect him
    A    D
That we will respect him

  E    A
He moves in circles of friends
who just pretend
     D
that they like him
  A    D    E
he does the same to them

       E
And when you put it all together
      D
that's the model of a charmless man

Na na na na na na na na na

       A         G#m F#m
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
      A     G#m    F#m
says he can get in anywhere for free
  D      C#m     Bm
I began to go a little cross eyed
       A        E      A
And from this charmless man I just had to hide (he went)

A      G#m  F#m
Na na na na na na na
   A      G#m  F#m
Na na na na na na na na na

       A
He talks at speed, he gets nose bleeds
He doesn't see
       D
his days are tumbling
A   D
Down upon him

  E   A
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
      D
for you to listen
  A     D  E
but no one is listening

       E
And when you put it all together
      D
that's the model of a charmless man
