Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]In comes the train
and the [G]whole platform shakes
[Em]It stops[A] with a shudder and a
[D]screaming of brakes
The parting has come and
my [G]weary soul [Em]aches
I'm [A]leaving my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 2]
But you [D]stand there so calmly
de[G]terminedly [Em]gay
You [A]talk of the weather
[D]and events of the day
And your eyes tell me all that your
[G]tongue doesn't [Em]say
Good[A]bye my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 3]
And [D]come a little [G]closer[Em]
Put your [A]head upon my [D]shoulder
And let me hold you [G]one last [Em]time
Be[A]fore the whistle [D]blows

[Verse 4]
My [D]suitcase is lifted and
[G]stowed on [Em]the train
And a [A]thousand regrets
[D]whirl around in my brain
The ache in my heart is
a [G]black sea [Em]of pain
I'm [A]leaving my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 5]
But [D]you stand there beside
me so [G]lovely [Em]to see
The [A]grip of your hand is an
[D]unspoken plea
You're not fooling yourself and
you're [G]not fooling [Em]me
Good[A]bye my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 6]
And [D]come a little [G]closer[Em]
Put your [A]head upon my [D]shoulder
And let me hold you [G]one last [Em]time
Be[A]fore the whistle [D]blows

[Verse 7]
But [D]our time has run out and the
[G]whistle [Em]has blown
[A]Here I must leave you [D]standing alone
We had so little time and [G]now
the time's [Em]gone
Good[A]bye my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 8]
[D]And as the train starts [G]gently [Em]to roll
And [A]as I lean out to [D]wave and to call
I see the first tears [G]trickle [Em]and fall
Good[A]bye my Nancy, [D]oh

[Verse 9]
And [D]come a little [G]closer[Em]
Put your [A]head upon [D]my shoulder
And let me hold you [G]one last [Em]time
Be[A]fore the whistle [D]blows
And let me hold you [G]one last [Em]time
Be[A]fore the whistle blows

[Outro 1]
