  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    was 
    18 
    when 
    came 
    to 
    town 

    they 
    called 
    it 
    the 
    summer 
    of 
    love 

    Burning 
    babies 
    burning 
    flags 

    the 
    hawks 
    against 
    the 
    doves 

    took 
    job 
    at 
    the 
    steaming 

    way 
    down 
    on 
    Caltrim 
    St. 

    And 
    they 
    fell 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    laundry 
    girl 

    that 
    was 
    workin' 
    next 
    to 
    me 

    Verse 2
    Brown 
    hair 
    zig 
    zagged 
    around 
    her 
    face 

    and 
    look 
    of 
    half 
    surprise 

    Like 
    fox 
    caught 
    in 
    the 
    headlights 

    there 
    was 
    animal 
    in 
    her 
    eyes 

    She 
    said 
    to 
    me, 
    can't 
    you 
    see, 

    I'm 
    not 
    the 
    factory 
    kind 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    take 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    here, 

    I'll 
    lose 
    my 
    mind 


    Chorus 1
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing, 
    fine 
    as 
    bee's 
    wing 

    So 
    fine 
    breath 
    of 
    wind 

    might 
    blow 
    her 
    a
    way 

    She 
    was 
    lost 
    child, 

    she 
    was 
    runnin' 
    wild 
    (she 
    said) 

    So 
    long 
    as 
    there's 
    no 

    price 
    on 
    love 
    I'll 
    stay 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    any 
    other 
    way 

    Verse 3
    We 
    busked 
    around 
    the 
    market 
    towns 

    fruit 
    pickin', 
    down 
    in 
    Kent 

    We 
    could 
    tinker 
    pots 
    and 
    pans 

    or 
    knives 
    wherever 
    we 
    went 

    We 
    were 
    campin' 
    down 
    the 
    Gower 

    and 
    the 
    work 
    was 
    mighty 
    good 

    She 
    wouldn't 
    wait 
    for 
    the 
    harvest, 

    thought 
    we 
    should 

    Verse 4
    said 
    to 
    her, 
    we'll 
    settle 
    down, 

    and 
    get 
    few 
    acres 
    dug 

    fire 
    burning 
    in 
    the 
    hearth 

    and 
    babies 
    on 
    the 
    rug 

    She 
    said, 
    oh 
    man 
    you 
    foolish 
    man 

    that 
    surely 
    sounds 
    like 
    hell 

    You 
    might 
    be 
    lord 
    of 
    half 
    the 
    world, 

    you'll 
    not 
    own 
    me 
    as 
    well 

    Chorus 2
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing, 
    fine 
    as 
    bee's 
    wing 

    So 
    fine 
    breath 
    of 
    wind 

    might 
    blow 
    her 
    a
    way 

    She 
    was 
    lost 
    child, 

    she 
    was 
    runnin' 
    wild 
    (she 
    said) 

    So 
    long 
    as 
    there's 
    no 

    price 
    on 
    love 
    I'll 
    stay 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    any 
    other 
    way 

    Verse 5
    We 
    were 
    drinking 
    more 
    in 
    those 
    days, 

    our 
    tempers 
    reached 
    pitch 

    Like 
    fool 
    let 
    her 
    run 
    away 

    when 
    she 
    took 
    the 
    rambling 
    itch 

    And 
    the 
    last 
    heard 
    she 
    was 
    living 
    rough 

    back 
    on 
    the 
    Derby 
    beat 

    With 
    bottle 
    of 
    White 
    Horse 
    in 
    her 
    pocket, 

    Wolfhound 
    at 
    her 
    feet 

    Verse 6
    They 
    say 
    that 
    she 
    got 
    married 
    once 

    to 
    man 
    called 
    Romany 
    Brown 

    Even 
    gypsy 
    caravan 

    was 
    too 
    much 
    like 
    settlin' 
    down 

    They 
    say 
    her 
    rose 
    has 
    faded, 

    rough 
    weather 
    and 
    hard 
    booze 

    Maybe 
    that's 
    the 
    price 
    you 
    pay 

    for 
    the 
    chains 
    that 
    you 
    re
    fuse 

    Chorus 3
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing, 
    fine 
    as 
    bee's 
    wing 

    And 
    miss 
    her 
    more 

    than 
    ever 
    words 
    can 
    say 

    If 
    could 
    just 
    taste 

    all 
    of 
    her 
    wildness 
    now 

    If 
    could 
    hold 
    her 
    in 
    my 
    arms 
    to
    day 

    wouldn't 
    want 
    her 
    any 
    other 
    way 

    Chorus 4
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing, 
    fine 
    as 
    bee's 
    wing 

    And 
    miss 
    her 
    more 

    than 
    ever 
    words 
    can 
    blow 
    say 

    If 
    could 
    just 
    taste 

    all 
    of 
    her 
    wildness 
    now 

    If 
    could 
    hold 
    her 
    in 
    my 
    arms 
    to
    day 

    wouldn't 
    want 
    her 
    any 
    other 
    way

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
