'Not In Nottingham' by Miller Roger - Guitar Tutorial

            Not in Nottingham - Roger Miller
================================
from the Disney cartoon 'Robin Hood'

Tabbed entirely from scratch by Oliver Lockwood ([email protected])
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.

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

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

                                              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)

A6 A A7 (once each)
E       (strum a few times)
E7      (once)

Chords:
 A      x02220

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.
