xTabbed by Dan Hamer ([email protected]) 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 D Bm From Northernden to Partington it's rain G A From Altrincham to Chadderton it's rain D Bm From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain G A It's a picture postcard of 'wish they never came' G D And whilst that deckchair in the garden it makes no sense A D It doesn't spoil the view or cause offence G D Those Floridas, Bavarias and Kents A D Make gentlemen wear shorts but don't make gents D So convertibles stay garage-bound Bm Save after-sun for later G If rain makes Britain great A Then Manchester is greater D As you dry your clothes once again Bm Upon the radiator G What makes Britain great A Makes Manchester yet greater D Bm G A D Bm From Cheetham Hill to Wytenshawe it's rain G A Gorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the same D Bm As I'm caught without my jacket once again G A The raindrops on my face play a sweet refain G D And as winter turns reluctantly to spring A D For the clouds above the city there's one last fling G D Swallows build their nests, chaffinch sing A D And the sun strolls into town like long lost king D So convertibles stay garage-bound Bm Save after-sun for later G If rain makes Britain great A Then Manchester is greater D As you dry your clothes once again Bm Upon the radiator G What makes Britain great A Makes Manchester yet greater G D And the mood of this whole sodden place is melancholy A D Like the sun came out to play, shone through the clouds but dropped its lolly G D And everyone looks so disappointed, so, so sorry A D Like the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sun and stole it's brolly G A D D So convertibles stay garage-bound Bm Save after-sun for later G If rain makes Britain great A Then Manchester is greater D As you dry your clothes once again Bm Upon the radiator G What makes Britain great A Makes Manchester yet greater
