This Charming Man, by The Smiths Album: The Smiths (1984) Words by Morrissey, music by Johnny Marr Transciption by Diego Nistal (narackamous@yahoo.es) 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 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-----

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.
