The Beautiful South era uma band pop inglesa formada no final dos anos 80 por antigos membros da banda The Housemartins (Hull/UK) - Paul Heaton e Dave Hemingway. Sean Welch (baixo), Dave Stead (bateria) and Dave Rotheray (guitara) se juntaram a dupla logo no inicio e permaneceram até o final, durante os 19 anos de existência do grupo. Mais tarde, foi incluída à bada a vocalista Briana Corrigan; que foi substituída por Jacqui Abbott, que por sua vez foi substituída por Alison Wheeler.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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: DBmGA
DBm From Northernden to Partington it's rain GA From Altrincham to Chadderton it's rain DBm From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain GA It's a picture postcard of 'wish they never came'
GD And whilst that deckchair in the garden it makes no sense AD It doesn't spoil the view or cause offence GD Those Floridas, Bavarias and Kents AD 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
DBmGA
DBm From Cheetham Hill to Wytenshawe it's rain GA Gorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the same DBm As I'm caught without my jacket once again GA The raindrops on my face play a sweet refain
GD And as winter turns reluctantly to spring AD For the clouds above the city there's one last fling GD Swallows build their nests, chaffinch sing AD 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
GD And the mood of this whole sodden place is melancholy AD Like the sun came out to play, shone through the clouds but dropped its lolly GD And everyone looks so disappointed, so, so sorry AD Like the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sun and stole it's brolly
GAD
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
