 Every town
 Has its ups and down
 Sometime ups
 Outnumber the downs
 But not in Nottingham
 I'm inclined to believe
 If we were so down
 We'd up and leave
 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
(pause)
 E7alt  (once each)
 (makiong that last single strum of A a slow one to finish)
