[Intro 1]
[A][G][Em][Bm][A][G][Em][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I
was nineteen when I came to town
They called in the Summer of Love
They were burningba
[G]bies, burn[D] ing flags
The [A]Hawks against the [G]Doves
[D]I took a job in the

[Verse 2]
STeamie
Down on Cauldrum Street
I fell in love [G]with a [D]laundry girl
Was [A]working next to [G]me

[Verse 3]
She was a [Bm]rare thing
Fine as a [D]beeswing
So [Bm]fine [A]a breath of wind
[G]might [A]blow her [G]away
She was a [Bm]lost child
She was [D]running wild, she said
As [Bm]long as there's [A]no price [G]on [A]love,
I'll [G]stay[D]
[G]And you [Em]wouldn't want [G]me [A]any other
[G]way[D]
[A][G][Em][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Brown hair zig-zag round round her face
And a look of [G]half-surprise
[D]Like Like a fox caught in the
headlights
There was [A]an animal in her [G]eyes

[Verse 5]
She [D]said, young man, O can't you see
I'm not the [G]factory [D]kind
If you [G]don't take [D]me out of here
[A]I'll surely lose my miind
[G]

[Verse 6]
She was a rare [Bm]thing
[A]Fine as [D]a beeswing
So fine [Bm]a breath of [D]wind might
[G]blow her[A] awa[G]y
She was [Bm]a lost [G]child
She was [D]running wild, she said
As [Bm]long as [D]there's [A]no price [G]on [A]love,
I'll [G]stay[D]
And you [Em]wouldn't want [D]me [G]any [A]other way[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][Em][A]
[Bm][G][D][G][D][G][D][A][G]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][G][Em]
We [D]busked around the

[Verse 7]
[D]market
towns
And picked fruit [G]down in [D]Kent
And we could tinker lamps and pots
And [A]knives wherever we [G]went

[Verse 8]
And I [D]said that we [G]might [D]settle down
Get a few [G]acres [D]dug
Fire burn[G]ing [D]in the hearth
And [A]babies on the [G]rug
She [D]said O man, [G]you

[Verse 9]
[D]foolish man
It surely sounds [G]like [D]hell
You might be lord [G]of [D]half the world
[G]You'll [A]not own me as [G]well

[Verse 10]
She was a [Bm]rare thing
Fine [D]as a beeswing
So [Bm]fine [A]a breath of wind
[G]might [A]blow [G]her away
She was a [Bm]lost child
[D]She was running wild, she said
As [Bm]long as there's [D]no price [G]on love,
[A]I'll [G]stay[D]
[G]And you [Em]wouldn't want [Bm]me
[G]any [A]other way[G][D]

[Verse 11]
We was camp[G]ing down
the [D]Gower one time
The work was pretty [G]good[D]
She thought we shouldn't wait for frost
[A]And I thought maybe we [G]should
We were [D]drink[G]ing more in

[Verse 12]
[D]those days
And tempers reached a pitch
Like [G]a fool I [D]let her run
[A]With [G]the rambling [A]itch
[G][Em][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 13]
[D]Last [G]I hear she's [D]sleeping out
Back on Derby beat
White Horse [G]in her hip [D]pocket
And [A]a wolfhound at her f[G]eet

[Verse 14]
And they [D]say [G]she even [D]marriend once
A man named Romany Brown
But even [G]a Gypsy [D]caravan
[A]Was too much [G]settliing down
And they [D]say her flower [G]is

[Verse 15]
[D]faded now
Hard weather and [G]hard [D]booze
But maybe [G]that's just
[D]hte price you pay
For the [A]chains you re[G]fuse

[Verse 16]
She was [Bm]a rare thing
[A]Fine [D]as a beeswing
And I [Bm]missh[D]er more [G]than ever
[A]words [G]could say
If I could [Bm]just taste
All of [D]her wildness now
If I could hold her [G]in my
[A]arm[G]s today[D]
Then I [Em]wouldn't want [D]her [G]any [A]other way[G][D]
