A              Ab Bass  F# 
I met him in a crowded room 
 
             A            Ab Bass   F# 
Where people go to drink away their gloom 
 
Bm7                C#m7 D (E)    A          D         A 
He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man 
 
A            Ab Bass  F#                 A               Ab Bass  F# 
Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais 
 
             Bm7                C#m7 D (E) 
I think he's like to of been Ronnie Kray 
 
           A            D             A 
But then nature didn't make him that way 
 
 
 
 A 
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares 
 
C#m7   Bm7            C#m7    Bm7 
Will protect him that we will respect him 
 
 A 
He moves in circles of friends 
 
                      C#m7    Bm7 
Who just pretend that they like him 
 
   C#m7   Bm7                          E 
He does the same to them, And when you put it all together 
 
            D7                    A 
There's the model of a charmless man 
 
 
 
             A            Ab Bass    F# 
He knows the swingers and their calvarly 
 
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 
 
 
 
He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds 
 
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 is listening 
 
And when you put it all together 
 
There's the model of a charmless man
