[Intro]
C#m B E A F#m B E
[Verse 1]
EI was 19 when I came to town they call it the summer of love
EThey were burning babies, burning flags, the Bhawks against the Adoves
EI took a job at the steamie down on Caldrum Street
EFell in love with a laundry girl that was Bworkin’ next to Ame
EBrown hair zig-zagged around her face and a look of half surprise
ELike a fox caught in the headlights there was Banimal in her Aeyes
She C#msaid young man, oh can't you see I'm Bnot the factory Ekind
EIf you don't take me out of here I'll Bsurely lose my Amind
[Chorus]
Ah, She was a C#mrare thing fine as a Ebee's wing
So C#mfine a breath of Bwind might blow her aAway
She was a C#mlost child, she was Erunnin' wild (she said)
As C#mlong as there’s no Bprice on love I'll Astay E
And you F#mwouldn't want me Bany other Eway
[Verse 2]
EWe busked around the market towns & picked fruit down in Kent
EWe could tinker lamps and pots or Bknives wherever we Awent
EAnd I said that we might settle down and get a few acres dug
EWith a fire burning in the hearth and Bbabies on the Arug
She C#msaid Oh man, you foolish man it Bsurely sounds like Ehell,
EYou might be lord of half the world but you'll Bnot own me as Awell
[Chorus]
Ah, She was a C#mrare thing fine as a Ebee's wing
So C#mfine a breath of Bwind might blow her aAway
She was a C#mlost child, she was Erunnin' wild (she said)
As C#mlong as there’s no Bprice on love I'll Astay E
But you F#mwouldn't want me Bany other Away
[Break]
A F#m E A D Bm E
[Verse 3]
ELast I hear she’s sleeping out back on the Derby beat
EA White Horse in her hip pocket, and a BWolfhound at her Afeet
EAnd they say she even married once to a man named Romany Brown
EBut even a gypsy caravan was Btoo much settlin' Adown
They C#msay her flower has faded now, hard Bweather and hard Ebooze,
But EMaybe that’s the price you pay for the Bchains that you reAfuse
[Chorus]
Ah, She was a C#mrare thing fine as a Ebee's wing
And I C#mmiss her more than Bever words could Asay
If I could C#mjust taste all of her Ewildness now
If C#mI could hold her Bin my arms toAday E
And I F#mwouldn't want her Bany other Eway
She was a C#mrare thing fine as a Ebee's wing
So C#mfine a breath of Bwind might blow her aAway
She was a C#mlost child, she was Erunnin' wild (she said)
As C#mlong as there’s no Bprice on love I'll Astay E
But you F#mwouldn't want me Bany other Eway
C#m B E A
[Outro]
No you F#mwouldn't want me Bany other Away E
