The Leaving Of Nancy taby ukulele według The Fureys

Verse 1

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 weeping soul aches
      D               C-G
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh
 

         G                        C
But you stand there so calmly, determinedly gay
      D                       C            G
You talk of the weather and events of the day
          G                          C               
And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say
     D            C-G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh


Chorus

      G            C
And come a little closer
          D            G
Lay your head upon my shoulder
     G               C
And let me hold you one more time
    D               G
Before the whistle blows
 

Verse 2

    G                       C
My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train
       D                       G
And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain
         G                      C
And the ache in my heart is a black sea of pain
      D               C-G
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh
 

         G                        C
But you stand there so calmly so lovely to see
      D                      C         G
The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea
             G                       C                    
You're not fooling yourself & you’re not fooling me
     D            C-G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh
 

Chorus

      G            C
And come a little closer
          D            G
Lay your head upon my shoulder
     G               C
And let me hold you one more time
    D               G
Before the whistle blows
 

Verse 3

         G                        C
But our time has run out and the whistle has blown
     D                      G
And here I must leave you standing alone
        G                  C
We had so little time and now the time's gone
     D             C-G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh
 

    G                    C
And as the train starts gently to roll
    D                     C           G
And as I lean out for to wave and to call
   G                    C        
I see the first tears trickle and fall
     D            C-G
Goodbye my Nancy, oh
 

Chorus

      G            C
And come a little closer
          D            G
Lay your head upon my shoulder
     G               C
And let me hold you one more time
    D               G
Before the whistle blows

     G               C
And let me hold you one more time
    D               G
Before the whistle blows

 
End:
