Eric Bogle - Leaving Nancy guitar tab

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
