Verse 1
Bb
I was nineteen when I came to town,
Eb

they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,
Eb
Bb
And I fell in love with a longer girl
Eb
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
F

She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't want me

Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
Eb
Bb
hey, I'm not the factory kind
Eb

Bb
If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind
F

She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't bug me

Bb
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Bbsus4
Bb
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
F
Eb
and babies on the rug
Bb

She said, oh man, you foolish man,

You might be the lord of half the world

the work was pretty good

And we were drinking more in those days
And tempers they reached a pitch
And like fool I let her run
Eb
So fine a breath the wind might blow away
And you wouldn't want me
F
Bb
any other way
The last I heard she was sleeping out
back on the Derby beat
A white horse in her hip pocket
a man named Romney Brown
But even a gypsy caravan
And you wouldn't want me
F
Bb
any other way
They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
Bb

Sheep is a rare thing,

And I miss her more than words could say
