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

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

any other way
D
A
Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
D
A
hey, I'm not the factory kind
D

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

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

A
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Asus4
A
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
E
D
and babies on the rug
A

A
She said, oh man, you foolish man,
Asus4
A
it surely sounds like hell
You might be the lord of half the world

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

I thought maybe we should
A

A
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
E
A
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
E
A
any other way
They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
A
E
Sheep is a rare thing,
A
D
And I miss her more than words could say
D
