Biography:
George Formby, OBE (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961), was a British actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. He sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele. He was a major star of stage and screen in the 1930s and '40s, when Formby became the UK's highest-paid entertainer. His songs such as "When I'm Cleaning Windows" were particularly popular during the Second World War (1939–45).
When he and his wife travelled throughout the war, creating improvised lyrics to songs to fit the situation, they delighted their audiences.

INTRO G A7 D G
G Em C A
Now I know I'm not handsome, no good looks or wealth
D7 Em C G
But the girls I chase say my plain face will compro-mise their health .
G Em C A7
Now I know fellows worse than me bow-legged and boss-eyed
A A7 A Em D
Walking out with lovely women clinging to their side.
G Em G Em G A7 D G
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me?
C G A7 Em C D
Look at EMP'RESS Josephine, the most attractive women that EVER was seen,
G Em C G D7
Yet Napoleon short and fat, captivates a lovely looking dame like that
G Em G Em G A7 D G E7
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me? Hey Hey

G Em C A7 A
Last night I went out walking, my intentions were to click
D D7 G C G
But the sights I saw whilst walking out, they nearly made me sick.
Em C A7 A
I must admit I saw some girls, a-ttractive little dears
A A7 A Em D
Arm in arm with ugly men with cauliflower ears.
G Em G Em G A7 D G
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me?
C G A7 Em D
What can the attraction be, thats the thing that always starts to worry me.

Al-though I havent got a bean, Ive got a lot of things that girls have never seen.
G Em G Em G A7 D G E7
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me? Hey Hey
A7 D G
Why dont women like me?
G Em C A7 A
Now I went for my holidays, down to the gay sea-side
D D7 G C G
I saw a lot of things there being hidden by the tide
Em C A7 A
The way the women jumped around the men there in the sea
A7 A Em D7
Made me think that there is still a good chance left for me
G Em G Em G A7 D G
*Coz if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me?
C G A7 D
Of all the shapes and sizes there, Ive got a chance of clicking yes I do declare
G Em C G C Em D
Tho'I don't want to be a nark, I saw a lot of things below the water-mark
G Em G Em G A7 D G E7
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me? Hey Hey
A7 D G
Why dont women like me? **
SOLO : Play chords thru from part marked * to part marked ** (embelish as you wish)
G Em G Em G A7 D G
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me?

With one eye and one arm gone west,she ran like the devil and she grabbed the rest.
G Em G Em G A7 D G E7
Now if women like them like men like those, why don't women like me? Hey Hey!
