Intro :
G   A7   D7
G   D7   G

       G              E7        
Now I know I’m not handsome, 
A7
no good looks or wealth
          D7                         
But the girls I chase say my plain face 
       G
will compromise their health .
       G                       E7
Now I know fellows worse than me 
       A7
bow-legged and boss-eyed 
A7                                              D7
Walking out with lovely women clinging to their side.

         G       
Now if women like them like men like those,
A7          D7         G 
why don’t women like me ?

C                  G           
Look at Empress Josephine, 
     A7                                    D7
the most attractive women that ever was seen, 
G                        E7
Yet Napoleon short and fat, 
A7                                     D7
captivates a lovely looking dame like that
          G       
Now if women like them like men like those,
A7         D7          G     E7 
why don’t women like me ? Hey, hey 
A7          D7          G
Why don’t women like me ?

       G                          A7
Last night I went out walking, my intentions were to click
         D7                            
But the sights I saw whilst walking out, 
     G
they nearly made me sick.
                        E7       A7
I must admit I saw some girls, attractive little dears
                                D7
Arm in arm with ugly men with cauliflower ears.
         G
Now if women like them like men like those,
 A7      D7          G 
why don’t women like me ?

C               G          
What can the attraction be, 
 A7                                       D7
that’s the thing that always starts to worry me.
    G                     E7    
Although I haven’t got a bean, 
     A7                                    D7
I’ve got a lot of things that girls have never seen.
       G
Now if women like them like men like those,
A7          D7         G     E7 
why don’t women like me? Hey,hey 
A7         D7          G      D7
Why don’t women like me ?
       G 
Now if women like them like men like those,
A7         D7           G 
Why don’t women like me ?
C                    G       
Take Lord Nelson with one limb, 
 A7                            D7 
Lady Wiliam Hamilton she fell for him.
      G                         E7    
With one eye and one arm gone west, 
       A7                                 D7
she ran like the devil and she grabbed the rest.

         G                                     
Now if women like them like men like those,
 A7          D7           G      E7
Why don’t women like me ? Hey, hey 
A7          D7            G    D7   G
Why don’t women like me ?.
