Leaving Nancy chords by Eric Bogle

Chords with lyrics

G+G		    C majorC
In comes the train and the whole platform shakes

D MajorD		       G+G
It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes

G+G		        C majorC
The parting has come and my weary soul aches

D MajorD                 G+G
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh


G+G		        C majorC
But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay

D MajorD		      C majorC
You talk of the weather and events of the day

G+G			  C majorC
And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say

G+G		D MajorD
Goodbye my Nancy, oh

G+G         C majorC
And come a little closer

D MajorD		   G+G
Put your head upon my shoulder

G+G          C majorC
And let me hold you one last time

D MajorD         G+G
Before the whistle blows


G+G             C majorC
My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train

D MajorD              G+G
And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain

G+G		    C majorC
The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain

D MajorD           G+G
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh

G+G                C majorC
But you stand there beside me so lovely to see

D MajorD              G+G
The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea

G+G			    C majorC
You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me

D MajorD         G+G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh


G+G	       C majorC
And come a little closer

D MajorD		 G+G
Put your head upon my shoulder

G+G                 C majorC
And let me hold you one last time

D MajorD              G+G
Before the whistle blows


G+G			C majorC
But our time has run out and the whistle has blown

D MajorD           G+G
Here I must leave you standing alone

G+G             C majorC
We had so little time and now the time's gone

D MajorD         G+G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh


G+G		  C majorC
And as the train starts gently to roll

D MajorD             G+G
And as I lean out to wave and to call

G+G               C majorC
I see the first tears trickle and fall

D MajorD         G+G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh


G+G         C majorC
And come a little closer

D MajorD           G+G
Put your head upon my shoulder

G+G          C majorC
And let me hold you one last time

D MajorD         G+G
Before the whistle blows

G+G          C majorC
And let me hold you one last time

D MajorD         G+G
Before the whistle blows

End: G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
