Verse
F#
I was 18 when I came to town they called it the summer of love
F# C# B
Burnin' babies burnin' flags the hawks against the dove
F#
I took a job at the steaming way down on Caltrim Street
F# C# B
Fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me
F#
Brown hair zig-zagged around her face and a look of half surprise
F# C# B
Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes
F#
She said to me can’t you see I’m not the factory kind
F# C# B
If you don’t take me out of here I’ll lose my mind
[Chorus]
D#m F#
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
D#m C# B
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
D#m F#
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
D#m C# B
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
G#m C# B
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 2]
F#
We busked around the market towns fruit pickin down in Kent
F# C# B
We could tinker pots and pans or knives wherever we went
F#
We were campin down the Gower, the work was mighty good
F# C# B
She wouldn’t wait for the harvest, I thought we should
F#
I said to her we’ll settle down, get a few acres dug
F# C# B
With a fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
D#m C# F#
She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell
B F# C# B
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well
[Chorus]
D#m F#
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
D#m C# B
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
D#m F#
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
D#m C# B
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
G#m C# B
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 3]
F#
We were drinking more in those days our tempers reached a pitch
F# C# B
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the rambling itch
F#
Last I heard she was living rough back on the Derby beat
F# C# B
G# bottle of White Horse in her pocket, a Wolfhound at her feet
F#
They say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
F# C# B
Even a gypsy caravan was too much like settlin’ down
D#m C# F#
They say her rose has faded, rough weather and hard booze
B F# C# B
Maybe thats the price you pay for the chains that you refuse
[Chorus]
D#m F#
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
D#m C# B
I miss her more than ever words can say
D#m F#
If I could just taste all of her wildness now
D#m C# B
If I could hold her in my arms today
G#m C# B
I wouldn’t want her any other way
