[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][F][Dm][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Was
19 when I came to town
They called it the summer of love
They were burning babies, burning flags
The [G]hawks against the [F]doves
I [C]took a job at the steaming

[Verse 2]
Down on Caltrim Street
Fell in love with a laundry girl
That was [G]workin' next to [F]me

[Verse 3]
Brown [C]hair, zig- zagged around her face
And a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights
There was [G]animal in [F]her eyes
Ah, she [Am]said, 'Young man,

[Verse 4]
[Am]
can't you see I'm [G]not the factory [C]kind?
If you don't [F]take me [C]out of here
I'll [G]surely lose my [F]mind"
Ah, she was [Am]a rare thing

[Verse 5]
Fine as a [C]bee's wing
So [Am]fine, a breath of wind
[G]might blow [F]her away
She was [Am]a lost child
She was [C]runnin' wild
She said, [Am]"As long as there's [G]no price on love,
I'll [F]stay[C]
But you [Dm]wouldn't want me [G]any other way"
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]We bus[C]ked around the market towns
And picked fruit down in Kent
We could take lamps and pots
[G]Or knives, wherever we [F]went
[C]I said that we might

[Verse 7]
settle down
And get a few acres dug
But the fire burning in the heart
And [G]babies on the [F]rug

[Verse 8]
[Am]She said, "Oh man, you foolish man
That [G]surely sounds [C]like hell
You might be [F]lord of [C]half
the world
Then you'll [G]not own me as [F]well"

[Verse 9]
Ah, she was a [Am]rare thing
Fine as a [C]bee's wing
[Am]So fine, a breath of wind
[G]might blow [F]her away
She was [Am]a lost child
She was [C]runnin' wild
She said, [Am]"As long as there's no [G]price on love,
I'll [F]stay[C]
Bet you [Dm]wouldn't want me [G]any other

[Interlude 1]
way"
[F][Dm][C][F][Bb]
[Gm][C]

[Verse 10]
[C]Last I [F]hear she's [C]sleeping out
Back on the Derby beat
White horse [F]in her [C]hip pocket
And a [G]wolfhound at [F]her feet
[C]They say she even

[Verse 11]
married once
To a man named Romany Brown
But even a [F]gypsy [C]caravan
Was [G]too much l [F]settlin' down

[Verse 12]
[Am]They say her flower has faded now
Hot [G]weather and hard [C]booze
But maybe [F]that's the [C]price
you pay
[G]For the change that you re[F]fuse

[Verse 13]
Ah, she was a [Am]rare thing
Fine as a [C]bee's wing
And I [Am]mis s her more than
[G]ever words could [F]say
If I [Am]could just taste all of her [C]wildness now
If [Am]I could hold her in[G] my arms
[F]today[C]
[Dm]Then I wouldn't want her
[G]any other [C]way

[Verse 14]
Ah, she was a [Am]rare thing
Fine as a [C]bee's wing
So [Am]fine, a breath of wind
[G]might blow [F]her away
She [Am]was a lost child
[G]She was [C]runnin' wild
She said, [Am]"As long as there's [G]no price on love,
[F]I'll [C]stay
But you [Dm]wouldn't want me [G]any
other way"
[C][Am][G][C][F]

[Verse 15]
But you [Dm]wouldnt want me [G]any other [C]way
