She takes the (Fm7)win ter and makes

it (Bb13)sum mer,

(Eb)sum mer could take

some (Eb)les sons (D)from her.

Pic ture a tom boy in lace,

(G7)that’s

(Cm7)Nan cy with the (Abm)laugh ing face.

Do you (Cm)ev er hear mis

sion bells ring

ing?

Well, she’ll (Cm7)give you the ve

ry same glow.

(Abm)When she (Eb)speaks you would think

it was sing

(Bb7)ing,

(G)just (Cm)hear (Cm7)her (F7)say, “Hel (Bb7)lo.”

I swear to (Fm7)good ness you can’t

re (Bb13)sist her,

(Eb)sor ry for you,

she (Eb)has no (D)sis ter.

No one could ev er re place

If I don’t (Fm7)see her each day,

I (Bb13)miss her.

(Eb)Gee, what a thrill

each (Eb)time I (D)kiss her.

Be lieve me, I’ve got a case,

(G7)on

(Cm7)Nan cy with the (F7)laugh ing (Bb7sus4)face.

She takes the (Fm7)win ter and makes

it (Bb13)sum mer,

(Eb)sum mer could take

Pic ture a tom boy in lace,

(G7)that’s

What a (Cm)won der ful treat
