Key: F major
Verse 1
F
I was nineteen when I came to town,
Bb
F
they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,
Bb
F
And I fell in love with a longer girl
Bb
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
C
Bb

Dm
She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't want me
Csus4
F
any other way
Bb
F
Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
Bb
F
hey, I'm not the factory kind
Bb
Fsus4
F
If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind
C
Dm
She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't bug me
C
F
any other way

F
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Fsus4
F
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
C
Bb
and babies on the rug
F
Fsus4
F
She said, oh man, you foolish man,
Fsus4

it surely sounds like hell
You might be the lord of half the world
C

five's a bee's wing

We were counting down the gown time,
the work was pretty good
Fsus4

Bb
I thought maybe we should

F
And we were drinking more in those days
And tempers they reached a pitch
And like fool I let her run
Bb
So fine a breath the wind might blow away
And you wouldn't want me
C
F
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
C
F
any other way
They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
F

Sheep is a rare thing,
F

And I miss her more than words could say
