Leaving Nancy - Eric Bogle - normal tuning F F In comes the train and the whole platform shakes G F It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes F F The parting has come and my weary soul aches
GI'm leaving my Nancy, oh F F F But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay G F You talk of the weather and events of the day F F And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say F G Goodbye my Nancy, oh
FAnd come a little Fcloser G F Put your head upon my shoulder FAnd let me hold you Fone last time GBefore the whistle Fblows
FMy suitcase is lifted and Fstowed on the train GAnd a thousand regrets whirl Faround in my brain F F The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain GI'm leaving my Nancy, Foh
FBut you stand there beside me so Flovely to see GThe grip of your hand is an Funspoken plea F F You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me GGoodbye my Nancy, Foh
F F And come a little closer G F Put your head upon my shoulder
FAnd let me hold you one last time F GBefore the whistle blows F
F F But our time has run out and the whistle has blown
GHere I must leave you Fstanding alone FWe had so little time and Fnow the time's gone GGoodbye my Nancy, Foh
F F And as the train starts gently to roll
GAnd as I lean out to wave Fand to call FI see the first tears trickle Fand fall GGoodbye my Nancy, Foh
FAnd come a little Fcloser GPut your head upon my Fshoulder FAnd let me hold you oFne last time GBefore the whistle Fblows FAnd let me hold you oFne last time GBefore the whistle Fblows
End: F F G F
