[Verse 1]
GI was 19 when I came to town they called it the summer of love
GBurning babies burning flags the Dhawks against the Cdoves
GI took a job at the steaming way down on Caldrim Street,
GFell in love with a laundry girl that was Dworkin next to Cme.
GBrown hair zig zagged across her face and a look of half surprise,
GLike a fox caught in the headlights there was Danimal in her Ceyes,
GShe said to me can't you see I'm not the factory kind,
GIf you don't take me out of here I'll Dsurely lose my Cmind
[Chorus]
SEmhe was a rare thing fine as a Gbee's wing
EmSo fine a breath of Dwind might blow her Caway
EMShe was a lost child, she was Grunnin' wild (she said)
EMSo long as theres no Dprice on love I'll Cstay
YoAMu wouldn't want Dme any other Cway.
[Verse 2]
GWe busked around the market towns picked fruit down in kent
GWe could tinker lamps and pots or Dknives wherever we Cwent.
GI said that we might settle down, get a few acres dug,
GA fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug.
GShe said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell,
GYou might be lord of half the world,YoDu'll not own me Cas well
[Chorus]
SEmhe was a rare thing fine as a Gbee's wing
EmSo fine a breath of Dwind might blow her Caway
EmShe was a lost child, she was Grunnin' wild (she said)
EmSo long as theres no Dprice on love I'll Cstay
YoAmu wouldn't want Dme any other Cway.
[Verse 3]
GLast I heard she was living rough back on the Derby beat
GA bottle of White Horse in her hip Dpocket, a WolfhounCd at her feet
GThey say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
GEven a gypsy caravan was too mDuch settlin' downC  
GThey say her feather has faded, rough weather and hard booze,
GMaybe thats the price you pay for the Dchains that you Crefuse
[Chorus]
SEmhe was a rare thing fine as a Gbee's wing
EmSo fine a breath of Dwind might blow her Caway
EmShe was a lost child, she was Grunnin' wild (she said)
EmSo long as theres no Dprice on love I'll Cstay
YoAmu wouldn't want Dme any other Cway.
[Outro]
YAmou wouldn't want Dme any other Cway.

[Verse 1]

I was 19 when I came to town they called it the summer of love

G D C

Burning babies burning flags the hawks against the doves

I took a job at the steaming way down on Caldrim Street,

G D C

Fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin next to me.

Brown hair zig zagged across her face and a look of half surprise,

G D C

Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes,

She said to me can't you see I'm not the factory kind,

G D C

If you don't take me out of here I'll surely lose my mind

[Chorus]

Em G

She was a rare thing fine as a bee's wing

Em D C

So fine a breath of wind might blow her away

EM G

She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild (she said)

EM D C

So long as theres no price on love I'll stay

AM D C

You wouldn't want me any other way.

[Verse 2]

We busked around the market towns picked fruit down in kent

G D C

We could tinker lamps and pots or knives wherever we went.

I said that we might settle down, get a few acres dug,

A fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug.

She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell,

G D C

You might be lord of half the world,You'll not own me as well

[Chorus]

Em G

She was a rare thing fine as a bee's wing

Em D C

So fine a breath of wind might blow her away

Em G

She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild (she said)

Em D C

So long as theres no price on love I'll stay

Am D C

You wouldn't want me any other way.

[Verse 3]

Last I heard she was living rough back on the Derby beat

G D C

A bottle of White Horse in her hip pocket, a Wolfhound at her feet

They say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown

G D C

Even a gypsy caravan was too much settlin' down

They say her feather has faded, rough weather and hard booze,

G D C

Maybe thats the price you pay for the chains that you refuse

[Chorus]

Em G

She was a rare thing fine as a bee's wing

Em D C

So fine a breath of wind might blow her away

Em G

She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild (she said)

Em D C

So long as theres no price on love I'll stay

Am D C

You wouldn't want me any other way.

[Outro]

Am D C

You wouldn't want me any other way.
