Verse 1

G G C C
In comes the train and the whole platform shakes
D D G G
It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes
G G C C
The parting has come and my weeping soul aches
D D C C-G G
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh


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


Chorus

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


Verse 2

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


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


Chorus

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


Verse 3

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


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


Chorus

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

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


End:
G G C C D D G G
