  SEEMS SO LONG AGO, NANCY- Leonard Cohen

  

       Bm      F#   Bm   F#m  C#m  F#m

  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#m           D

  In the House of Mystery there was no one at all

         A      E     F#m

  there was no one at all 

  

  It seems so long ago, none of us were strong

  Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone 

  She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone

  I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one

  In nineteen sixty one 

  

  It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone

  A forty five beside her head, an open telephone 

  We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free

  But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery

  The House of Mystery 

  

  And now you look around you, see her everywhere

  Many use her body, many comb her hair 

  In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb

  You hear her talking freely then

  She's happy that you've come

  She's happy that you've come
