   This song has a pretty strange rhythm, mostly upstrokes.
   I'll try to tab it out for you, but you really need to
   listen to the song to hear how it's done.

   d = downstrokes
   u = upstrokes
   x = muted note

   [x means mute the string with your fret hand, but strum
    it with the strum hand like you were strumming a chord,
    thereby making a muffled sound.]
   
   For all of the chords it goes a bit like this:
     G#                 C#              B
   E|-x--4--4--4--|   E|-x--------|   E|-x--------|
   B|-x--4--4--4--|   B|-x--6--6--|   B|-x--4--4--|
   G|-x--5--5--5--|   G|-x--6--6--|   G|-x--4--4--|
   D|-x--6--6--6--|   D|-x--6--6--|   D|-x--4--4--|
   A|-x--6--6--6--|   A|-x--4--4--|   A|-x--2--2--|
   E|-x--4--4--4--|   E|-x--------|   E|-x--------|

   OK, screw the rhythm, I'm tired of trying to tab
   it for you. Here comes the song:
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   F# G G#
         Once upon a time, not too long ago,

                        C#
   We took a day out in Manchester.

      G#
   We all fall down,

           B          C#       G#       
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
   
   VERSE 2:
   
   F# G G#
         Played a bit of football, fell into the union,

                     C#
   Barged our way to the toilet.

            G#
   With the Kung Fu king,

           B          C#       G#       F# G G# [stop]
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
   
   MUSICAL INTERLUDE:
   
   Some really weird interlude here, then
   back to same chord progression
   
   
   VERSE 3:
   
   I remember seeing someone, dressed in a suit,
   Looking like a lunatic.
   And we all fall down,
   There's not enough hours in our trip.
   
   
   VERSE 4:
   
   Well Academy coffee, is breaking your hands,
   We got lovely posters to sell.
   We all fall down,
   There's not enough hours in our day.
   
   
   CHORUS:
   
   F# G G#
         We like lovin' yeah,

   F# G G#
         And the wine we share.

   F# G G#
         We like lovin' yeah,

   F# G G#                       F# G G# [stop]
         And the wine we share.

   
   [weird interlude here, then the guitar
    starts playing G# F# a few times. You can
    hear a slide guitar playing this:]
   
   / = slide up
   
        G#       F#
   E|-2/4--------2----|
   B|-2/4--------2----|

   A|-----------------|
   E|-----------------|
   
   
   VERSE 5:
   
   Finally made our way back to the train,
   Rolling into Sheffield tonight.
   And it all falls down,
   There's not enough hours in our life.
   
   
   VERSE 6:
   
   Try and guess my weight, wait at the station,
   Whippin'  Piccadilly tonight.
   And it all falls down,
   There's not enough hours in our life.
   
   
   CHORUS:
    
   We like lovin' yeah,
   And the wine we share.
   We like lovin' yeah,
   And the wine we share.
