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

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

E
any other way
A
E
Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
A
E
hey, I'm not the factory kind
A
Esus4
E
If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind
B
C#m
She was a lost child, she was running wild
And you wouldn't bug me
B

any other way

E
Esus4
E
We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives
and pans
Esus4
E
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
B
A
and babies on the rug
E
Esus4
E
She said, oh man, you foolish man,
Esus4
E
it surely sounds like hell
You might be the lord of half the world
B

five's a bee's wing

A
E
We were counting down the gown time,
the work was pretty good
Esus4
E
A
I thought maybe we should
E
Esus4
E
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
B
E
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
B
E
any other way
They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
you pay
E
B
Sheep is a rare thing,
E
A
And I miss her more than words could say
A
s today

A
