In comes the train [F#] and the whole [F#m] platform shakes
[B] It stops with a shudder [E] and the screaming outbreaks
The parting has come and [F#] my weary soul aches
[B] I'm leaving my Nancy home
[E] But you stand there so calmly, [F#m] determinedly gay
[B] You talk of the weather [E] and events of the day
Your eyes tell me all [F#m] that your tongue doesn't say
[B] Goodbye my Nancy, [E] oh
Come
[A] closer, put [B] your head upon [E] my shoulder
Let me hold [A] you one last time [B] before the whistle [E] blows
My suitcase is lifted and [F#m] stowed on the train
And [B] a thousand regrets swirl [E] around my brain
The ache in my heart [F#m] is a black sea of pain
[B] I'm leaving my [B]
[E] Nancy home
But you stand there beside me [F#m] so lovely to see
