Nancy Spain (video) (intro) (sample)

G

1. Of all the stars that ever shone,

C G D

not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes,

C D G

like golden corn at harvest time, your hair.

G

Sailing in my boat, the wind

C G D

gently blows and fills my sails,

C D G

your sweet scented breath is everywhere.

G

2. Daylight peeping through the curtains

C G D

of the passing night time is your smile,

C D G

and the sun in the sky is like your laugh.

G

Come back to me, my Nancy,

C G D

linger for just a little while,

C D G

since you left these shores, I know no peace nor joy.

G C D

No matter where I wander, I’m still haunted by your name,

C D G

the portrait of your beauty stays the same.

G C

Standing by the ocean, wondering where you’ve gone,

G D

if you’ll return again.

C D G

Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain ?

G

3. On the day in spring

C G D

when snow starts to melt, streams to flow,

C D G

with the birds I’ll sing a song.

G

In the while I’ll wander

C G D

down by bluebell grove, where wild flowers grow,

C D G

and I’ll hope that lovely Nancy will return.

G C D

No matter where I wander, I’m still haunted by your name,

C D G

the portrait of your beauty stays the same.

G C

Standing by the ocean, wondering where you’ve gone,

G D

if you’ll return again.

C D G

Where is the ring that I gave to Nancy Spain ?
