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
