verse 1 
Riff           C      G 
I was climbing into a barrel 
        C                G         Em 
When I remembered Little Nancy's voice say 
Riff               C              G 
"promise me you'll take me to the big wheel 
         C        G        Em 
On the night of your next payday" 
Riff          C      G 
I'll put her on my shoulders 
C        G       Em 
Beat the height restriction 
Riff         C       G 
I'll let her do the talking 
C     G       Em 
Bury my poor diction 


Fsus2(maj7)         C         Cmaj7 
A box of paints and an easel 
Fsus2(maj7)         C         Cmaj7 
A record player and a needle 
G 
Little Nancy 

Riff then intro. 


verse 2(Same chords as before) 

I was loosening the canvas for to 
Climb up the rigging 
And I remembered Little Nancy on the beach 
Necklace lost and digging 

I'll tie a ribbon to the railings 
Mark the exact location 
I'll win her a goldfish in a bag like a 
Comic book illustration 

Chorus 2(Same Chords as before) 

A matador flag that was a trade-in 
For a quarter-size violin  

E         Am      Fsus2(maj7) 
We parted company amicably 
G 
Little Nancy 

C      Fsus2(maj7)  G 
Wherever you go, I'll follow you 
C          Fsus2(maj7) G          C     G   C 
Let not this time be wasted on worrying
