Nancy (With the Laughing Face)
Words & Music by Phil Silvers & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1944
Cdim Em7 A9
If I don't see her each day, I miss her;
D C#m Fm
Gee what a thrill each time I kiss her.
Em C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Bm7 E7 Em7 A7
Believe me, I've got a case on Nancy with the laughing face.
Cdim Em7 A9
She takes the winter and makes it summer;
D C#m Fm
Summer could take some lessons from her.
Em C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Gm D F7
Picture a tomboy in lace — that's Nancy with the laughing face.
Bridge 1:
C#m Bm+7
Do you ever hear mission bells ringing?
Bm7 E9 E7-5
Well, she'll give you the very same glow;
Gm D Em7 A7
When she speaks you would think it was singing;
Bm Bm7 E7 Em7 A7
Just hear her say, "Hello."
Cdim Em7 A9
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her;
D C#m Fm
Sorry for you, she has no sister.
Em C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Gm D F7
No one could ever replace my Nancy with the laughing face.
Bridge 2:
C#m Bm+7
What a wonderful treat to come home to,
Bm7 E9 E7-5
When the long day has drawn to a close;
Gm D Em7 A7
There's the patter of feet to come home to,
Bm Bm7 E7 Em7 A7
And Nan - cy gave me those.
Cdim Em7 A9
Keep Betty Grable, Lamour and Turner;
D C#m Fm
She makes my heart a charcoal burner.
Em C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Gdim D G6 D6
No one could ever replace my Nancy with the laughing face.
