- Difficulty: Beginner
🎸 Verse 1:
C C
I was nineteen when I came to town they called it a summer of love
C G F
They were burnin' pages, burnin' flags, the hawks against the doves
C
I took a job in the steamie down on Cauldrum Street
C G F
I fell in love with a laundry girl who was workin' next to me
🎸 Chorus:
Am C
Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, well, she was runnin’ wild
Am G F
She said, "As long as there's no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G C
And you wouldn’t want me any other way."
🎸 Verse 2:
C C
Brown hair zig-zagged 'round her face, a look of half-surprise
C G F
Like a fox caught in the headlights, there was animal in her eyes
C C
She said, "Young man, oh can't you see
I’m not the factory kind
C G F
If you don’t take me out of here
I’ll surely lose my mind."
🎸 Chorus:
Am C
Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, well, she was runnin’ wild
Am G F
She said, "As long as there's no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G C
And you wouldn’t want me any other way."
🎸 Verse 3:
C C
We busked around the market towns and picked fruit down in Kent
C G F
We could tinker lamps and pots and knives wherever we went
C C
And I said that we might settle down, get a few acres dug
C G F
Fire burning in the hearth and babies on the rug
C C
She said, "Oh man, you foolish man, that surely sounds like hell
C G F
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well."
🎸 Chorus:
Am C
Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, well, she was runnin’ wild
Am G F
She said, "As long as there's no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G C
And you wouldn’t want me any other way."
🎸 Verse 4:
C C
We were camping down the Gower one time, the work was pretty good
C G F
She thought we shouldn't wait for a frost and I thought maybe we should
C C
We were fighting more in those days, and tempers reached a pitch
C G F
And like a fool
I let her run with the rambling itch
🎸 Chorus:
Am C
Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, well, she was runnin’ wild
Am G F
She said, "As long as there's no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G C
And you wouldn’t want me any other way."
Am G F
She said, "As long as there's no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G C
And you wouldn’t want me any other way."
