Charmless Man by Blur BLUR: "CHARMLESS MAN" Transcribed by Gary Regester (descry@erols.com) This transcription should be fairly acurate. I transcribed it for a student a while back but I don't have a recording of the song to double check. All of the sections are written out, but not the order in which they go. The rhythm is mostly 8th notes. I put a lower-case 's' over the 16th notes, so watch for those.
