Intro: 1 2 3 1 2 3 D 2 3 D 2 3 G 2 3 G 2 3 
G                          C              Am      
In comes the train and the whole platform shakes, 
   D                          C            G       
It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes, 
G                            C          Am     
The  parting has come and my weary soul aches, 
    D                G   
I'm leaving my Nancy oh. 
G                         C            Am   
You stand there beside me determinedly gay, 
   D                       C             G    
We talk of the weather and events of the day, 
G                                   C              Am   
But your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say, 
     D            G   
Good-bye my Nancy oh. 
       
Chorus 
G                C      Am 
So come a little closer ~  
         D            C      G   
Lay your head upon my should-er, 
G                   C        Am    
And let me hold you one more time, 
   D                G     
Be-fore the whistle blows 
G                         C             Am     
My suitcase is lifted and stored on the train, 
  D                        C           G      
A thousand regrets swirl a-round in my brain, 
G                         C            Am    
The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain, 
    D                G   
I'm leaving my Nancy oh. 
G                            C         Am   
You stand there before me so lovely to see, 
    D                       C        G     
The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea, 
G                                     C          Am  
You're not foolin yourself and you're not foolin me, 
     D            G   
Good-bye my Nancy oh. 
       
Chorus 
G                C      Am 
So come a little closer ~  
         D            C      G   
Lay your head upon my should-er, 
G                   C        Am    
And let me hold you one more time, 
   D                G     
Be-fore the whistle blows 
G                            C           Am     
Our time has run out and the whistle has blown, 
    D                      C          G     
And here I must leave you, standing a-lone, 
G                         C             Am    
We had so little time and now the times gone, 
    D                G   
I'm leaving my Nancy oh. 
G                       C         Am    
And as the train starts gently to roll, 
    D                    C           G     
And as I lean out for to wave and to call, 
G                              C           Am    
I see the first tears start to trickle and fall, 
     D            G   
Good-bye my Nancy oh. 
       
Chorus

Lay your head upon my should-er, 
G                   C        Am    
And let me hold you one more time, 
   D                G     
Be-fore the whistle blows 
G                C      Am 
So come a little closer ~  
         D            C      G

Be-fore the whistle blows ~
