Capo: 2

Tabbed by Dan Hamer (footyfandan@hotmail.com) This is a tab submitted to correct someone elses version of the song, which I reckon is Rhythm is really easy, the only real point being that the A in the chorus is just simply downstrokes and releasing your fingers from the fret board after each stroke from what I pick up. Don't know what the technical name for that is but I hope you understand. Enjoy! Standard Tuning (EADGBE) CAPO ON 2ND FRET Intro: D Bm G A

From N^Dorthernden to Partington it's r^Bmain From A^Gltrincham to Chadderton it's r^Aain From M^Doss Side to Swinton hardly S^Bmpain It's a p^Gicture postcard of 'wish they never c^Aame'

And whilst that d^Geckchair in the garden it makes no s^Dense It d^Aoesn't spoil the view or cause off^Dence Those F^Gloridas, Bavarias and K^Dents Make g^Aentlemen wear shorts but don't make g^Dents

So con^Dvertibles stay garage-bound Save ^Bmafter-sun for later If ^Grain makes Britain great Then ^AManchester is greater As you ^Ddry your clothes once again Up^Bmon the radiator ^GWhat makes Britain great Makes ^AManchester yet greater

D Bm G A

From ^DCheetham Hill to Wytenshawe it's ^Bmrain ^GGorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the ^Asame As I'm ^Dcaught without my jacket once ^Bmagain The ^Graindrops on my face play a sweet re^Afain

And as ^Gwinter turns reluctantly to ^Dspring For the ^Aclouds above the city there's one last ^Dfling ^GSwallows build their nests, chaffinch ^Dsing And the ^Asun strolls into town like long lost ^Dking

And the ^Gmood of this whole sodden place is ^Dmelancholy Like the ^Asun came out to play, shone through the ^Dclouds but dropped its lolly And ^Geveryone looks so disappointed, ^Dso, so sorry Like the ^Arain blew into town, kidnapped the ^Dsun and stole it's brolly
