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