    Verse 1

    was nineteen 
    when 
    I came 
    to town 

    They 
    called 
    in the Summer 
    of 
    Love 

    They 
    were burningba

    bies, burn
    ing flags 

    The 
    Hawks 
    against 
    the 
    Doves 

    I took 
    a job 
    in the 
    Verse 2
    STeamie 

    Down on 
    Cauldrum Street 

    I fell 
    in love 
    with 
    laundry 
    girl 

    Was 
    working 
    next 
    to 
    me 

    Verse 3
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing 

    Fine 
    as 
    beeswing 

    So 
    fine 
    a breath 
    of wind 

    might 
    blow 
    her 
    away 

    She 
    was 
    lost 
    child 

    She was 
    running 
    wild, 
    she 
    said 

    As 
    long as 
    there's 
    no price 
    on love, 

    I'll 
    stay 

    And you 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    any 
    other 

    way 

    Verse 4

    Brown 
    hair zig-zag 
    round 
    round 
    her face 

    And 
    a look of 
    half-sur
    prise 

    Like 
    Like 
    a fox 
    caught 
    in the 

    headlights 

    There was 
    an 
    animal 
    in her 
    eyes 

    Verse 5
    She 
    said, young 
    man, 
    O can't 
    you see 

    I'm 
    not the 
    fact
    ory 
    kind 

    If you 
    don't take 
    me 
    out 
    of here 

    I'll surely 
    lose 
    my miind 

    Verse 6
    She was 
    a rare 
    thing 

    Fine as 
    a beeswing 

    So fine 
    a breath 
    of 
    wind might 

    blow 
    her 
    away 

    She was 
    a lost 
    child 

    She was 
    running 
    wild, 
    she 
    said 

    As 
    long as 
    there's 
    no price 
    on love, 

    I'll 
    stay 

    And you 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    any 
    other 
    way 

    Interlude 1



    We 
    busked 
    around 
    the 
    Verse 7
    market 

    towns 

    And picked fruit 
    down 
    in 
    Kent 

    And we 
    could tinker 
    lamps 
    and pots 

    And 
    knives 
    wherever 
    we 
    went 

    Verse 8
    And I 
    said that 
    we 
    might 
    settle 
    down 

    Get a few 
    acres 
    dug 

    Fire 
    burn
    ing 
    in 
    the hearth 

    And 
    babies 
    on the 
    rug 

    She 
    said O 
    man, 
    you 
    Verse 9
    fool
    ish 
    man 

    It 
    surely sounds 
    like 
    hell 

    You 
    might 
    be lord 
    of 
    half 
    the world 

    You'll 
    not 
    own me 
    as 
    well 

    Verse 10
    She 
    was 
    rare 
    thing 

    Fine 
    as a 
    beeswing 

    So 
    fine 
    a breath 
    of wind 

    might 
    blow 
    her away 

    She 
    was 
    lost 
    child 

    She was 
    running 
    wild, 
    she 
    said 

    As 
    long as 
    there's 
    no price 
    on love, 

    I'll 
    stay 

    And you 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 

    any 
    other 
    way 

    Verse 11
    We was 
    camp
    ing down 

    the 
    Gower one 
    time 

    The 
    work 
    was pretty 
    good 

    She 
    thought 
    we shouldn't 
    wait 
    for 
    frost 

    And 
    I thought 
    maybe 
    we 
    should 

    We were 
    drink
    ing more 
    in 
    Verse 12
    those days 

    And 
    tempers 
    reached 
    a pitch 

    Like 
    a fool 
    let 
    her run 

    With 
    the rambling 
    itch 

    Verse 13

    Last 
    I hear 
    she's 
    sleeping 
    out 

    Back 
    on Derby 
    beat 

    White 
    Horse 
    in her 
    hip 
    pocket 

    And 
    wolfhound 
    at her 
    feet 

    Verse 14
    And they 
    say 
    she even 
    marriend once 

    A man 
    named Romany 
    Brown 

    But 
    even 
    a Gypsy 
    caravan 

    Was 
    too much 
    set
    tliing down 

    And they 
    say 
    her flower 
    is 
    Verse 15
    faded 
    now 

    Hard 
    weather 
    and 
    hard 
    booze 

    But 
    maybe 
    that's just 

    hte price 
    you pay 

    For the 
    chains 
    you 
    re
    fuse 

    Verse 16
    She 
    was 
    a rare 
    thing 

    Fine 
    as a beeswing 

    And I 
    missh
    er more 
    than 
    ever 

    words 
    could say 

    If I could 
    just 
    taste 

    All 
    of 
    her wildness 
    now 

    If 
    I could hold 
    her 
    in my 

    arms today 

    Then I 
    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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
