Verse 1
they called it the summer of love
Burning babies burning flags
E
D
the hawks against the doves
way down on Caltrim St.
And they fell in love with a laundry girl
E
D
that was workin' next to me
Verse 2
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights
E
D
there was animal in her eyes
I'm not the factory kind
And if you don't take me out of here,
E
D
I'll lose my mind
Chorus 1

She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
F#m

So fine a breath of wind
E

price on love I'll stay
Bm
E
D
You wouldn't want me any other way
Verse 3
fruit pickin', down in Kent
We could tinker pots and pans
E
D
or knives wherever we went
and the work was mighty good
She wouldn't wait for the harvest,
E
D
I thought we should
Verse 4
and get a few acres dug
A fire burning in the hearth
E
D
and babies on the rug
E
A
that surely sounds like hell
D
A
You might be lord of half the world,
E
D
you'll not own me as well
Chorus 2

Verse 5
our tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool I let her run away
E
D
when she took the rambling itch
back on the Derby beat
With a bottle of White Horse in her pocket,
E
D
a Wolfhound at her feet
Verse 6
to a man called Romany Brown
Even a gypsy caravan
E
D
was too much like settlin' down
E
A
rough weather and hard booze
D
A
Maybe that's the price you pay
E
D
for the chains that you refuse
Chorus 3

If I could hold her in my arms today

I wouldn't want her any other way

If I could hold her in my arms today

I wouldn't want her any other way
