[Verse 1]
G
I was 18 when I came to town they called it the summer of love
G D C
Burnin' babies burnin' flags the hawks against the dove
G
And I took a job at the steaming, way down on Caltrim Street
G D C
And I fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
G D C
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Em G
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild
G D C
She said so long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Am G C
You wouldn’t want me any other way
G G D C
[Verse 2]
G
We busked around the market towns fruit pickin down in Kent
G D C
We could tinker pots and pans and knives wherever we went
G
And I said to her we’ll settle down, get a few acres dug
G D C
A fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
Em D C
She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell
G D C
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
G D C
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Em G
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild
G D C
She said so long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Am G C
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 3]
G
We were campin down the Gower one time, and the work was mighty good
G D C
She wouldn’t wait for the harvest, I thought we should
G
We were drinking more in those days and tempers reached a pitch
G D C
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the rambling itch
Em D C
The last I heard she was sleeping rough back on the Derby beat
G D C
A bottle of White Horse in her pocket, a wolfhound at her feet
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
