Tonart: A major•
Intro 1
A
A
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 doves
A
I took a job at the steaming
way down on Caltrim St.
And they fell in love with a laundry girl
E
D
that was workin' next to me
Verse 2
A
Brown hair zig zagged around her face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights
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 my mind
Chorus 1
F#m
A
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
F#m
C#m
So fine a breath of wind
F#m
She was a lost child,
A
she was runnin' wild (she said)
F#m
So long as there's no
E
D
price on love I'll stay
Bm
E
D
You wouldn't want me any other way
Verse 3
A
We busked around the market towns
fruit pickin', down in Kent
We could tinker pots and pans
E
D
or knives wherever we went
A
We were campin' down the Gower
and the work was mighty good
She wouldn't wait for the harvest,
E
D
I thought we should
Verse 4
A
I said to her, we'll settle down,
and get a few acres dug
A fire burning in the hearth
E
D
and babies on the rug
F#m
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
Chorus 2
F#m
A
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
F#m
C#m
So fine a breath of wind
F#m
She was a lost child,
A
she was runnin' wild (she said)
F#m
So long as there's no
E
D
price on love I'll stay
Bm
E
D
You wouldn't want me any other way
Verse 5
A
We were drinking more in those days,
our tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool I let her run away
E
D
when she took the rambling itch
A
And the last I heard she was living rough
back on the Derby beat
With a bottle of White Horse in her pocket,
E
D
a Wolfhound at her feet
Verse 6
A
They say that she got married once
to a man called Romany Brown
Even a gypsy caravan
E
D
was too much like settlin' down
F#m
They say her rose has faded,
E
A
rough weather and hard booze
D
A
Maybe that's the price you pay
E
D
for the chains that you refuse
Chorus 3
F#m
A
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
F#m
And I miss her more
C#m
D
than ever words can say
F#m
If I could just taste
A
all of her wildness now
F#m
E
D
If I could hold her in my arms today
Bm
E
D
I wouldn't want her any other way
Chorus 4
F#m
A
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
F#m
And I miss her more
C#m
D
than ever words can blow say
F#m
If I could just taste
A
all of her wildness now
F#m
E
D
If I could hold her in my arms today
Bm
E
D
I wouldn't want her any other way
