[Verse 1]
[C]Let me tell you 'bout the[G]
[C]Man[G]fre[C]ds
The music that they're
puttin' down
They started to play one rainy day
And the people came from [G]miles around
They didn't come [F]for the

[Verse 2]
rhythm
They didn't come for the [C]beat
The [G]people of the town came
[F]just to stand around
[C]And see [G]the singer lookin' sweet

[Verse 3]
[C]
Mike Hugg plays the drums, yeah
Tom McGuiness lays it down on the bass
But the one in the middle sings "hey,
diddle, diddle"

[Verse 4]
God, he's just a pretty face
[G]They didn't come for[F] the rhythm
They didn't come for the [C]beat[F][C]
The [G]people of the town came
[F]just to stand around
And [C]see [G]the singer lookin'
sweet

[Interlude 1]
They couldn't have

[Verse 5]
Manfred Mann plays the [C]organ
Mike Vickers plays guitar
And there's a geezer called Paul
who's so thin and so tall
And [G]sure [F]wants to be [G]a star
They didn't come [F]for the

[Verse 6]
rhythm
They did not come for [C]the beat, oh no
The [G]people of the town came
[F]just to stand around
And see [G]the singer lookin' sweet

[Verse 7]
[F]See the singer lookin'
See the singer lookin'
Well, see the singer lookin'
Watch me now, see the singer lookin', oh
Oh yeah, see the singer
lookin'
Mmm-hmm, yeah, yeah,
see the singer lookin'
[C]Sweet
