It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone
  A               Bm                       A      E      A
Looking at the Late Late show through a semi-precious stone
 C#                F#m         D             A
In the House of Honesty her father was on trial
 E                F#m          C#            D
In the House of Mystery there was no one at all
       A      E     F#m
there was no one at all


[Verse 2]
     Bm      F#7  Bm   F#m    C#m     F#m
It seems so long ago, none of us were strong
  A                  Bm               A       E      A
Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone
 C#                F#m               D             A
She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone
 E                    F#m           C#            D
I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one
       A      E   F#m
In nineteen sixty one


[Verse 3]
     Bm      F#7  Bm   F#m  C#m  F#m
It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone
  A               Bm            A     E      A
A forty five beside her head, an open telephone
 C#                    F#m         D                A
We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free
 E                    F#m            C#            D
But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery
       A      E    F#m
The House of Mystery


[Verse 4]
     Bm      F#7        Bm   F#m  C#m     F#m
And now you look around you, see her everywhere
  A          Bm    A      E      A
Many use her body, many comb her hair
 C#                  F#m           D             A
In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb
 E                    F#m              C#                 D 
You hear her talking freely then She's happy that you've come
       A         E       F#m
She's happy that you've come
