A Bm Looking at the Late Late show A E7 A Through a semi-precious stone.

Verse 2: Bm F# Bm It seems so long ago, Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 None of us were strong A Bm Nancy wore green stockings A E7 A And she slept with everyone.

Verse 3: Bm F# Bm It seems so long ago, Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 Nancy was alone, A Bm A forty five beside her head, A E7 A An open telephone. Chorus: C# F#m We told her she was beautiful, D A We told her she was free E F#m But none of us would meet her in C# D The House of Mystery, A E F#m The House of Mystery. Verse 4: Bm F# Bm And now you look around you, Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 See her everywhere, A Bm Many use her body, A E7 A Many comb her hair. Chorus: C# F#m In the hollow of the night D A When you are cold and numb E F#m You hear her talking freely then, C# D She's happy that you've come, A E F#m She's happy that you've come. Outro: | Bm | E | A |
