Then start a-strumming. Listen to the song to work out the strumming rhythm.


[Verse 1]

      A       A7
Every town
                D
Has its ups and downs
         A
Sometime ups
              E        E7
Outnumber the downs


[Verse 2]

                  A       A7
But not in Nottingham
                  D
I'm inclined to believe
                 A        E
If we weren't so down
            A        E
We'd up and leave


[Verse 3]

                                              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


[Outro]

A       (strum a few times)
A6 A A7 (once each)
D       (strum a few times)
D5 D D7 (once each)
A       (strum a few times)
A6 A A7 (once each)
E       (strum a few times)
E7      (once)
(pause)
E7 E6 E A (once each)
(making that last single strum of A a slow one to finish)
