Leaving Nancy - Eric Bogle - normal tuning G C In comes the train and the whole platform shakes D G It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes G C The parting has come and my weary soul aches D G I'm leaving my Nancy, oh G C But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay D C You talk of the weather and events of the day G C And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say G D Goodbye my Nancy, oh G C And come a little closer D G Put your head upon my shoulder G C And let me hold you one last time D G Before the whistle blows G C My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train D G And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain G C The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain D G I'm leaving my Nancy, oh G C But you stand there beside me so lovely to see D G The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea G C You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me D G Goodbye my Nancy, oh G C And come a little closer D G Put your head upon my shoulder G C And let me hold you one last time D G Before the whistle blows G C But our time has run out and the whistle has blown D G Here I must leave you standing alone G C We had so little time and now the time's gone D G Goodbye my Nancy, oh G C And as the train starts gently to roll D G And as I lean out to wave and to call G C I see the first tears trickle and fall D G Goodbye my Nancy, oh G C And come a little closer D G Put your head upon my shoulder G C And let me hold you one last time D G Before the whistle blows G C And let me hold you one last time D G Before the whistle blows End: G C D G
