Pretty Nancy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Pretty Nancy of London
from that fair inland stream
She was courted by William,
[C#]he belongs [C]to the sea
She was courted by William
[C#]a lo[D]ng time ag[C]o
[G]Now [C]he's on the sea sailing,
where the stormy winds do blow
Oh, the stormy winds do blow [B]me,
[C]boys,
and they make [C#]my h[C]eart ache
They make my room window
for to [D]shiver an[C]d shake.
God knows where my love lies,
so [C#]far f[C]rom the shore.
I will pray for his welfare,
tell me what can I do more.
When the sailors are sailing
they drink a health to their wives
For they love their own sweethearts
as they [C#]love [C]their own lives
Here's a punch going round me boys,
here's a [C#]full glass [C]in hand
Here's a health to loving Nancy
That I leave [C#]upon dry [C]land
Oh, it's Nancy, my jewel
My joy and heart's delight
Here is one lovely letter
[C#]I am goi[D]ng for to [C]write
Here is one lovely letter
to [D]let you [C]well know
That I'm on the sea sailing
where the stormy [C#]winds[C] do blow
