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.
