Eric Bogle – Leaving Nancy chords
Chords:
G CIn comes the train and the whole platform shakesD GIt stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakesG CThe parting has come and my weary soul achesD GI'm leaving my Nancy, ohG CBut you stand there so calmly determinedly gayD CYou talk of the weather and events of the dayG CAnd your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't sayG DGoodbye my Nancy, ohG CAnd come a little closerD GPut your head upon my shoulderG CAnd let me hold you one last timeD GBefore the whistle blowsG CMy suitcase is lifted and stowed on the trainD GAnd a thousand regrets whirl around in my brainG CThe ache in my heart is a black sea of painD GI'm leaving my Nancy, ohG CBut you stand there beside me so lovely to seeD GThe grip of your hand is an unspoken pleaG CYou're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling meD GGoodbye my Nancy, ohG CAnd come a little closerD GPut your head upon my shoulderG CAnd let me hold you one last timeD GBefore the whistle blowsG CBut our time has run out and the whistle has blownD GHere I must leave you standing aloneG CWe had so little time and now the time's goneD GGoodbye my Nancy, ohG CAnd as the train starts gently to rollD GAnd as I lean out to wave and to callG CI see the first tears trickle and fallD GGoodbye my Nancy, ohG CAnd come a little closerD GPut your head upon my shoulderG CAnd let me hold you one last timeD GBefore the whistle blowsG CAnd let me hold you one last timeD GBefore the whistle blowsEnd: G C D G
