[Verse]
G C G G C G
I was 19 when I came to town they called it the summer of love
G C G D C
They were burning babies, burning flags, the hawks against the doves
G C G G C G
I took a job in the steamie down on Cauldrumm St,
G C G D C
I fell in love with a laundry girl who was workin' next to me
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
Em D C
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Em G
She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild
Em D C
She said so long as there's no price on love I'll stay
Am D C
And you wouldn't want me any other way
[Verse]
G C G G C G
Brown hair zig zagged around her face and look of half surprise,
G C G D C
Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes,
G C G C G
She said young man, oh can't you see I'm not the factory kind,
G C G D C
If you don't take me out of here I'll surely lose my mind
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
Em D C
So fine that I might crush her where she lay
Em G
She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild
Em D C
She said so long as there's no price on love I'll stay
Am D C
You wouldn't want me any other way
[Verse]
G C G G C G
We busked around the market towns, we picked fruit down in Kent
G C G D C
We could tinker lamps and pots n knives wherever we went
G C G G C G
I said to her we'll settle down, get a few acres dug,
G C G D C
A fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
G C G G C G
She said Oh man, you foolish man, that surely sounds like hell,
G C G D C
You might be lord of half the world but you'll not own me as well
[Chorus]
Em G
She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
Em D C
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Em G
She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild (she said)
Em D C
So long as there's no price on love I'll stay
