This Charming Man, by The Smiths
Album: The Smiths (1984)
Words by Morrissey, music by Johnny Marr
Transciption by Diego Nistal ([email protected])


This is the original version of the song, it differs a
little from the one that appears in Hatful of Hollow.
I use some chorus, reverb and mild compression to play
it, besides lots of trebble. A augmentedA very slight overdrive
will work too.

this is the intro to the version that appears on the album.
its slightly different to the one that appears above.


e--9---9----7--7---10---9----7---7/9----14--12--12-------9-----
B--10--10---9--9---10---10---9---9/10---14--12--12-----9---12--

G--11-11----11---11--------11--11-----11--11/13-13-13-13-13----

e--------------------------------------------------------------
B--12/14--14--14--12--12--10(let----10--12--14-14-14-14--12-12-
G--13/14--14--14--13--13--11-ring)--11--13--14-14-14-14--13-13-
D--------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------


However instead of using the chords B-12-  -14-  & -10-
				  G-13-  -14-   -11-

you can use these shapes      e-7-  -9--  & -5-
			      B-9-  -10-   -7-


therefore the 3rd part of the intro would go like this


e--7/9---9---9---7--7--5(let----5--7--9--9--9--9--7--7-------
B--9/10--10--10--9--9--7-ring)--7--9--10-10-10-10-9--9-------
G------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------


these are the same shapes used in th first part of the intro.
use which ever one you find easiest.
