Tonart: A major
Verse 1
A
I was 18 when I came to town they
called it the Summer of Love
Burning babies, burning flags,
E
D
the hawks against the dove
A
I took a job at the Steaming way
down on Caltrim Street
And they fell in love with a laundry girl,
E
D
that was working next to me
A
Brown hair, zigzagged all round face,
a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
Bm
E
D
there was animal in her eyes
A
She said to me, "Can't you see
I'm not the factory kind?"
And if you don't take me out of here,
E
D
I'll lose me mind
A
F#m
A
She was a rare thing, fine as a beeswing
C#m
So fine, a breath of wind
F#m
And she was a lost child,
F#m
She said, "So long as there's
C#m
E
D
no price on love, I'll stay
Bm
E
D
You wouldn't want me any other way"
A
We busked around the market towns,
fruit picking down in Kent
We could tinker pots and pans
E
D
or knives wherever we went
A
We were campin' down the Gower,
but the work was mighty good
She wouldn't wait for the harvest
E
D
and I thought we should
A
I said to her, "We'll settle down
and get a few acres dug"
With a fire burning in the heart
E
D
and babies on the rug
A
She said, "Oh man, you foolish man,
E
A
that surely sounds like Hell
D
A
You might be Lord of half the world,
E
D
you'll not own me as well"
A
F#m
But she was a rare thing,
C#m
So fine, a breath of wind
F#m
And she was a lost child,
F#m
She said, "So long as there's
C#m
E
D
no price on love, I'll stay
Bm
E
D
You wouldn't want me any other way"
A
We were drinking more in those days,
our tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool, I let her run away when
E
D
she took the rambling itch
she is living rough back on the Derby beach
With a bottle of white horse in her pocket,
E
D
a wolfhound at her feet
A
They say that she got married once
to a man called Romany Brown
Even a gypsy caravan was too
E
D
much to settling down
A
They say her rose has faded,
E
A
rough weather and hard booze
D
A
Maybe that's the price you pay for the
E
D
chains that you refuse
F#m
Oh, she was a rare thing,
F#m
And I mis s her more than
C#m
E
D
ever words can say
F#m
A
If I could just taste all of her wildness now
F#m
C#m
If I could hold her in my
Bm
C#m
E
I wouldn't want her any
C#m
D
other way
F#m
(She was a rare thing,
E
(And I miss her more than ever,
Em
D
words can say)
A
F#m
(If I could just taste all
F#m
C#m
D
If I could hold her in my arms today
Bm
B
C#m
D
I wouldn't want her any other way
