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

G# F# G G#
E|-4--4--x--4--4--4--x--4--4--4--x--4----2--3--4--|

[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--|

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----|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
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.
