Verse 1:
       A
I was 18 when I came to town they called it the summer of love
       A                           E                D
Burnin' babies burnin' flags the hawks against the dove
       A
I took a job at the steaming way down on Caltrim Street
       A                                  E              D
Fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me
       A
Brown hair zig-zagged around her face and a look of half surprise
       A                                       E             D
Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes
       A
She said to me can’t you see I’m not the factory kind
       A                               E       D
If you don’t take me out of here I’ll lose my mind

Chorus:
          Gbm                    A
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
    Gbm               E                   D
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
          Gbm                    A
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
    Gbm                E                  D
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
    Bm                E         D
You wouldn’t want me any other way

Verse 2:
     A
We busked around the market towns fruit pickin down in Kent
     A                            E                 D
We could tinker pots and pans or knives wherever we went
     A
We were campin down the Gower, the work was mighty good
     A                                E          D
She wouldn’t wait for the harvest, I thought we should
     A
I said to her we’ll settle down, get a few acres dug
     A                                 E             D
With a fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
     Gbm                                E                A
She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell
              D        A                    E             D
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well

Chorus:
          Gbm                    A
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
    Gbm               E                   D
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
          Gbm                    A
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
    Gbm                E                  D
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
    Bm                E         D
You wouldn’t want me any other way

Verse 3:
        A
We were drinking more in those days our tempers reached a pitch
        A                                 E                D
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the rambling itch
        A
Last I heard she was living rough back on the Derby beat
        A                                  E               D
A bottle of White Horse in her pocket, a Wolfhound at her feet
        A
They say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
        A                      E                 D
Even a gypsy caravan was too much like settlin’ down
      Gbm                            E                A
They say her rose has faded, rough weather and hard booze
        D        A                      E              D
Maybe thats the price you pay for the chains that you refuse

Chorus:
           Gbm                     A
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
    Gbm                E             D
I miss her more than ever words can say
            Gbm                    A
If I could just taste all of her wildness now
   Gbm                  E           D
If I could hold her in my arms today
   Bm                E         D
I wouldn’t want her any other way
