Nancy was [G] a tinker girl [C] who roamed the country roads, and I will tell [Em] you how [F] she came to [C] be a legend in [G] her time. _
_ _ _ _ And the [C] reason that I've [G] come to know, [C] _ well the tinker told me so, who better [F] then to pass to [G] me the tale of [C] Nancy Myers.
_ _ _ _ _ _
Nancy's father [G] Tinker Dan, [C] he was a poor but honest man, drove a horse [F]-drawn _ caravan [C] all through the [G] Emerald Isle. _ _ _ _
When [C] Nancy was [G] no more a child, [C] Dan he didn't have to toil, _ [Em] men would come [F] from far and wide [G] to pay for Nancy [C]
Myers. _ _ _ _ _
There's pretty girls [G] in _ magazines, [C] _ movie stars and beauty queens, _ Nancy [F] was the prettiest girl [C] a man could ever [G] _
see. _ _ _ _
And the gleam of love in her [C] eyes, when she'd look at you and smile, [Em] make you [F] feel that you were just [G] the man she [C] longed to see. _ _ _ _
Before the [G] age of twenty-one, [F] a hundred [C] men had come and gone, _ none of them could win the gleam of love [F] that was in [G] her _ _ eyes. _ _ _
[C] Any man [G] that loved her then, [C] _ never was the same again, his memory [F] was haunted [G] with thoughts of [C] Nancy Myers. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ In every town [A] and village too, [D] the fame of Nancy grew and grew, _ soon her name [G] was spoken [D] at many a campfire [A] site. _ _ _
_ [D] And in Valnice law on [A] horse-fare [D] day, when tinker men would have their say, many a [G] fight was fought to [A] win the court of [D] Nancy Myers. _ _ _
_ I hope that you [A] don't get me wrong, [D] _
Nancy was the sweetest one, _ heart so [G] full of kindness and [D] as charming as her [A] smile. _ _ _
_ _ [D] She was known [A] throughout the land, [D] the queen of all the Tinker clan, _ was the dream [G] of every man [A] to marry [D] Nancy Myers. _ _ _
_ _ Before the age [A] of thirty-one, [G] a thousand men had [D] come and gone, _ none of them could win the gleam of love [G] that was in [A] her eyes. _ _ _
_ [D] And every man [A] that loved her then, [D] _
never was the same again, his memory [G] was haunted _ [A] with thoughts of [D] Nancy Myers. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ Then there came [A] the saddest day, [D] when Nancy's father passed away, the loss had grieved [G] her dearly and her [D] heart was filled [A] with pain. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ Family, friends [A] and court and men, [D]
never saw her smile again, a change had [G] taken place within [A] the heart of [D] Nancy Myers. _ _ _
_ _ _ Before the age [A] of forty-one, [G]
Nancy she had [D] come and gone, the search the country over, not a trace [G] of her [A] could find. _ _ _

sing the song [A] of the Tinker _ _ [D] Nancy Myers. _ _
