Many thanks to my good friend Juliette Blum whose musical ear wrote down most of the chords for me.
[Intro] x2
(on second run through start singing at end)
high e |--------------2-----0-----|
B |-----2--------------2-----|
G |--------2--------2-----2--|
D |--------------------------|
B |--0--------0--------------|
low E |--------------------------|
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -
Ever- y
Then start a-strumming. Listen to the song to work out the strumming rhythm.
[Verse 1]
Every town
Has its ups and down
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs
[Verse 2]
But not in Nottingham
I m inclined to believe
If we were so down
We d up and leave
[Verse 3]
We d up and fly if we had wings for flyin
Can t you see the tears we re cryin ?
Can t there be some happiness for me?
Not in Nottingham
[Outro]
(strum a few times)
(once each)
(strum a few times)
(once each)
A (strum a few times)
(once each)
(strum a few times)
(once)
(pause)
(once each)
(makiong that last single strum of A a slow one to finish)

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.
