Verse 1
F
I was
nineteen when I came to town
They called it the summer of love
Burnin' babies, burnin' flags,
Bb
the hawks against the doves
F
And I took a job in a steamy,
down on Cauldron Street
Fell in love with the laundry girl
Bb
who was workin' next to me
Dm
She was a rare thing,
F
fine as a bee's wing
Dm
Bb
F
So fine a breath of wind
C
Bb
might blow her away
Dm
F
She was a lost child, she was running wild
Dm
Bb
She said, as long as there's no price
F
C
Bb
on love I'll stay
Dm
And you wouldn't want me
Cm
F
any other way
Brown hair zigzagged round her face,
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,
C
Bb
there was animal in her eyes
F
She said, young man, oh, can't you see
I'm not the factory kind
If you don't take me out of here
Bb
I'll surely lose my mind
Dm
She was a rare thing,

Verse 2
F
We bussed around the market towns
We picked fruit down in Kent
We could tinker pots and pans
Gm
Dm
Bb
and knives wherever we went
F
And I said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
Fire burning in the hearth
Bb
F
Bb
and babies on the rug
F
She said, young man, you're
a foolish man,
that surely sounds like hell
Bb
F
You might be lord of half the world
Bb
But you'll not own me as well
Dm
She was a rare thing,
F
fine as a bee's wing

F

C
Bb

Dm
C
F
And you wouldn't want me any other way
We were camping down the Gower
one time,
the work was pretty good
She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost,
Bb
I thought maybe we should
F
We were drinking more in those days,
and our tempers reached a pitch
And like a fool I let her run
Bb
with a rambling itch
Dm
She was a rare thing,
C
F
fine as a bee's wing
Dm
F
So fine a breath of wind
C
Bb
might blow her away
Dm
F
She was a lost child, she was running wild
She says as long as there's no price
C
Bb
on love I'll stay
Dm
C
And you wouldn't want me any other way
F
Last year I heard she was
sleeping out
Down on the Derby beat
White horse in her hip pocket
C
F
Bb
And a wolf hand at her feet
F
And they say she even
married one time
A man named Romany Brown
But even her gypsy caravan
Bb
F
Bb
Was too much settling down
Dm
She was a rare thing
F
Fine as a bee's wing

C
So fine a breath of wind

Dm
And you wouldn't want me
C
F
any other way
They say her flower has faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
Maybe that's just the price you pay
Bb
F
Bb
for the change you refuse
Dm
She was a rare thing,
F
fine as a bee's wing
Dm
C
Bb
And I miss her more than any words can say
Dm
F
If I could just taste all her wildness now,
Dm
F
C
Bb
If I could hold her in my arms today,
Dm
Then I wouldn't want her
C
F
any other way.
