Chorus: G Here she comes and there she goes FEm Nothing on her fingers, nothing on her toes DCAm Why she comes, nobody knows G Here comes Shaky Nancy
G Don't be believing, she melts in your hand Am7C Runs with the tide and she shifts with the sand DCAm She'll send you a message and turn to stone G She's a hard girl, Nancy
One cold morning, ice on the sea Shaky Nancy, won't you lean on me? Must mean something, how can you lose? There's nothing choosy or chancy
Chorus
Nancy went walking, she's gone for the day When she comes back, she's been two years away There's still tears in her eyes Who'll say a prayer for Nancy?
Chorus
Throw me a bottle, throw me a bowl And you throw what's left of me into the hole I'll take a sleep, I'll take a sleep And I'll dream sweet dreams of Nancy
