Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]It s[Am]eems so lo[A]ng ago[Dm][Am]
[E]Nancy was [Am]alone[C]
Looking at the Late [Dm]Late show
[C]Through a semi- [G]precious [C]stone[E]
In the House of [Am]Honesty
[F]Her father was on [C]tri[G]al
In the House of Mys[Am]tery
There [E]was no one at [F]all
There was [C]no [G]one at all[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]It seems [A]so long [Dm]ago[Am]
None of [E]us were [Am]strong
[C]Nancy wore green [Dm]stockings
[C]And she slept [G]with everyone
[C]

[Verse 3]
[E]She never said she'd wait for[Am] us
[F]Al though she was [C]alone
[G]I think she fell in love for[Am] us
In [E]nineteen sixty [F]one
In [C]nineteen [G]sixty one
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]It seems so long [A]ago[Dm][Am]
Nancy [E]was [Am]alone[C]
A forty five be[Dm]side her head
[C]An open tel[G]epho[C]ne

[Verse 5]
[E]We told her she was [Am]beautiful
We [F]told her she was [C]free
[G]But none of us would [Am]meet her in
The [E]House of Mys[F]tery
The [C]House of [G]Mystery
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[E]And now [A]you [Dm]look around you
[Am]See her ever[E]ywhere
[Am]Many[C] use her bod[Dm]y[C]
Many [G]comb her [C]hair[E]

[Verse 7]
In the hollow of [Am]the night
When you [F]are cold and [C]numb
You [G]hear her talking [Am]freely then
She's [E]happy that you've [F]come
She's [C]happy [G]that you've come

[Outro 1]
[Am][Dm][G][C]
