Not in Nottingham - Roger Miller
================================
from the Disney cartoon 'Robin Hood'
Many thanks to my good friend Juliette Blum whose musical ear wrote down most of the chords for me.
Intro (play twice)
(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.
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
Outro:
A (strum a few times)
(once each)
D (strum a few times)
(once each)
A (strum a few times)
(once each)
E (strum a few times)
(once)
(pause)
E7alt (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.
