Verse 1

Every town 
Has its ups and downs
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs 

Verse 2

But not in Nottingham 
I'm inclined to believe
If we weren't 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

I 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.
