A Well Respected Man Chords by The Kinks

[Start]

[Chorus]
G           C              Am     
■ 'cause he gets up in the morning
       Em              Am  
And he goes to work at nine
       Em                 Am        
And he comes back home at fivethirty
         Em               Am  
Gets the same train every time
                    G            Am          C
'cause his world is built 'round punctuality ■
Em       Am   
It never fails
         C     Am  
And he's oh so good
            C  Am  
And he's oh so fine
         C     Am     
And he's oh so healthy
       C    Am          
In his body and his mind
       F              Em            
He's a well respected man about town
F                     D  G             
Doing the best things so conservatively


[Verse]
        C              Am      
And his mother goes to meetings
          C                Am  
While his father pulls the maid
        C                  Am        
And she stirs the tea with councilors
      C          Em      Am   
While discussing foreign trade
        C               Am           
And she passes looks as well as bills
   Am                   
At every suave young man


[Chorus]
               Em Am  
'cause he's oh so good
         C  Am     
And he's oh so fine
         C     Am     
And he's oh so healthy
       C            Am  
In his body and his mind
       F              Em        F   
He's a well respected man about town
                      D  G             
Doing the best things so conservatively
       C             Am      
And he likes his own backyard
       C                  Am  
And he likes his fags the best
            C               Am  
'cause he's better than the rest
                  Em         Am  
And his own sweat smells the best
       C        Em       Am           
And he hopes to grab his father's loot
C          Em     Am
When pater passes on
            C       Am  
'cause he's ■ oh so good
         C  Em Am  
And he's oh so fine
         C     Am     
And he's oh so healthy
       C            Am  
In his body and his mind
       F              Em            
He's a well respected man about town
F                     D  G             
Doing the best things so conservatively


[Verse]
C              Am                   
■ And he plays the stocks and shares
    C              Am     
And he goes to the regatta
   C                    Am  
He adores the girl next door
            C     Em     Am    
'cause he's dying to get at her
        C                Am        
But his mother knows the best about
C   Bm7         Am    
The matrimonial stakes


[Chorus]
            C  Am     
'cause he's oh so good
         C  Em Am  
And he's oh so fine
         C     Am     
And he's oh so healthy
       Cmaj7        Am  
In his body and his mind
       F              Em  Em7       
He's a well respected man about town
