Nancy and Me
(Lyrics and chords)
D A
Left L.A, Thursday morning
G D
Left the weight far behind
A
No goodbyes and no warnings
G D
Cold in the heart and unkind
Being up ain't worth nothing
If the best of you is down
Peace I've heard must be something
So I guess I'll look around
Chorus:
C D
Railroad cars have no memories
C D
Highway signs cannot see
C D
If ever you're doing nothing
C G D
Say a prayer for Nancy and me, Nancy and me
Phoenix jail took my body
Worth a dollar thirty-three
Dallas cops took my money
But my soul went running free
Atlanta seen eyes for dyin'
But it was not my time
Nancy held me to her
When we crossed the Georgia line
Chorus
Mountains are made for climbing
Feelings are a place to rest
Love is somethin' I'm still finding
In the well of loneliness
If you have trouble understanding
Just be what you must be
Let me be what I am
God bless you and god bless me
Chorus

![Rose, Rose I Love You (玫瑰玫瑰我愛你): Yao Lee 1940
Rose, Rose I Love You
Méigui méigui wǒ ài nǐ
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你
Rose, Rose, I Love You is the standard English title of the 1940 Chinese popular song Méigui méigui wǒ ài nǐ (玫瑰玫瑰我愛你), first recorded by Yao Lee (姚莉). An English-language version whose lyrics have little in common with the original Mandarin was first recorded by Frankie Laine in 1951. It remains the only major popular music chart hit in the United States written by a Chinese composer.[citation needed]
The song is also known under the titles Shanghai Rose and China Rose.
Also used in the Peter Greenaway movie, The Pillow Book, 1996
