Nancy Spain

(Barney Rush - music by Christy Moore)


		G
Ver:	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 sail
		     C             D         G
		Your sweet-scented breath is everywhere


		   G                               C               D
Ch	No matter where I wander I'm still haunted by your name
		                                      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


Ver2:	Daylight peeping through the curtain
		Of the passing night time is your smile
		And the sun in the sky is like your laugh
		Come back to me my Nancy
		Linger for just a little while
		Since you left these shores I've known no peace nor joy

Chorus:

Ver3:	On the day in Spring
		when snows start to melt and streams to flow
		With the birds I'll sing this song
		Then in the while I'll wander
		Down by bluebell stream where wild flowers grow
		And I'll hope that lovely Nancy will return
