Ever- y
Then start a-strumming. Listen to the song to work out the strumming rhythm.
A A7
Every town
D
Has its ups and down
A
Sometime ups
E E7
Outnumber the downs
A A7
But not in Nottingham
D
I’m inclined to believe
A E
If we were so down
A E
We’d up and leave
D
We’d up and fly if we had wings for flyin’
E
Can’t you see the tears we’re cryin’?
E7
Can’t there be some happiness for me?
A
Not in Nottingham

Hope you enjoy playing this as much as I did spending an afternoon tabbing it!
This is my first tab, so please don’t rip it to shreds (!)
but all feedback is welcome. The ending bit isn’t perfectly true to the song
but in the film it changes to church bells and an organ, and this version
sounds OK to me.
