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

they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,
Ab

And I fell in love with a longer girl

So fine a breath of wind might blow her away

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,
Ab
Eb
hey, I'm not the factory kind

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

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

Eb
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Ebsus4
Eb
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
Bb
Ab
and babies on the rug
Eb

She said, oh man, you foolish man,

You might be the lord of half the world

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

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

Sheep is a rare thing,

And I miss her more than words could say
