A Well Respected Man Chords by The Kinks

[Start]

[Chorus]
G           C              Am     
■ 'cause he gets up in the morning
       C       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
           C        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                  Am   
While discussing foreign trade
        C               Am           
And she passes looks as well as bills
C                    Am 
At every suave young man
       C       Em Am  
'cause he's oh so good
         Am        
And he's oh so fine
         C  Am        
And he's oh so healthy
       C            Am  
In his body and his mind


[Chorus]
       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
        C                    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    G  Am  
And he's ■ oh so fine
         C     Am     
And he's oh so healthy
       C    Em      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
        Am                         
But his mother knows the best about
C               Am    
The matrimonial stakes


[Chorus]
            C  G  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            
He's a well respected man about town
F                     D  G             
Doing the best things so conservatively
