Verse 1
G
I was nineteen when I came to town,
C
G
they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,
C
G
And I fell in love with a longer girl
C
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
D
C
D
Em
She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't want me
Dsus4
G
any other way
C
G
Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
C
G
hey, I'm not the factory kind
C
Gsus4
G
If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind
D
Em
She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't bug me
D
G
any other way

G
Gsus4
G
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Gsus4
G
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
D
C
and babies on the rug
G
Gsus4
G
She said, oh man, you foolish man,
Gsus4
G
it surely sounds like hell
You might be the lord of half the world
D

five's a bee's wing

We were counting down the gown time,
the work was pretty good
Gsus4
G
C
I thought maybe we should
G
Gsus4
G
And we were drinking more in those days
And tempers they reached a pitch
And like fool I let her run
And you wouldn't want me
D
G
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
D
G
any other way
They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
G
D
Sheep is a rare thing,
G
C
And I miss her more than words could say
C
