Nathan Carter - Beeswing

^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

S^Emhe was a rare thing fine as a^G bee'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 Yo^AMu wouldn't want ^Dme any other ^Cway.

^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,Yo^Du'll not own me^C as well

^GLast I heard she was living rough back on the Derby beat ^GA bottle of White Horse in her hip^D pocket, a Wolfhoun^Cd at her feet ^GThey say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown ^GEven a gypsy caravan was too m^Duch settlin' down ^{C G}They say her feather has faded, rough weather and hard booze, ^GMaybe thats the price you pay for the^D chains that you ^Crefuse
