I was 18 when I came to town, they called it the summer of love
[B] flags, the hawks [D] against the doves
way down on Caltram Street
[F#] who was working [D] next to me
zigzagged around her face, and the look of half surprise
in the headlights, [B] there was animal [D] in her eyes
[A] said to me, can't you see, I'm not the factory type
If you don't take me out of here, [B] I'll lose [D] my mind
[B] flags, the hawks [D] against the doves
way down on Caltram Street
[F#] who was working [D] next to me
zigzagged around her face, and the look of half surprise
in the headlights, [B] there was animal [D] in her eyes
[A] said to me, can't you see, I'm not the factory type
If you don't take me out of here, [B] I'll lose [D] my mind

_ _ _ I was 18 when I came to town, they called it the summer of love
Burning babies, burning [B] flags, the hawks [D] against the doves
[A] I took a job at the steam end, way down on Caltram Street
Fell in love with a laundry girl [F#] who was working [D] next to me
_ [A] Brown hair zigzagged around her face, and the look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights, [B] there was animal [D] in her eyes
She _
[A] said to me, can't you see, I'm not the factory type
If you don't take me out of here, [B] I'll lose [D] my mind
She [F#m] was a rare thing, fine [A] as a bee's wing
[F#m] So fine, a [B] breath of wind might [D] blow her away
She was a lost child, [A] she was running wild
She [F#m] said, so long, [B] there's no price on [D] low file stay
You [Bm] _ [B] wouldn't want me any [D] other way
[A] We busked around the market towns, fruit picking down in Kent
We could tinker pots and pans or [F#] knives, wherever [D] we went
[A] We were camping down the gower, the work was mighty good
She couldn't wait for the harvest, I thought we should
I _ said to her, we'll settle down, get a few acres dug
With a fire burning in the heart [F#] and babies [D] on the rug
She [F#m] said, oh man, foolish man, [B] that surely [A] sounds like hell _
You might be [F#m] lord of half the world, but you're not on [D] me as well
_ [F#m] She was a rare thing, [A] fine as a bee's wing
[F#m] So fine, a [B] breath of wind might [D] blow her away
She [F#m] was a lost child, [A] she was running wild
She [F#m] said, so long, there's no price on [D] low file stay
_ [Bm] You wouldn't want [B] me any [D] other way
[A] We were drinking more in those days, our tempers reached a pitch
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the ramblin' itch
At last I heard she's living rough, back in the Derby beat
With a bottle of white horse in her pocket, a wolf found at her [D] feet
_ _ They say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
Even a gypsy caravan [B] was too much like [D] settling down _
They [F#m] say her rose is faded, [F#] rough weather and [A] hard booze
_ Maybe that's the price you pay [B] for the chains that [D] you refuse
_ [F#m] She was a rare thing, fine as [A] a bee's wing
And [F#m] I miss her more [F#] than words can [D] ever say
If I could just taste [A] all of her wildness now
[F#m] If I could hold [B] her in my arms [D] today _ _ _ _
[F#] I [B] wouldn't want her any [D] other way
She [F#m] was a rare thing, _ [A] fine as a bee's wing
_ And I miss her more [B] than words can ever [D] say
If [F#m] I could just taste [A] all of her wildness now
_ [F#m] If I could hold [F#] her in my [D] arms today
_ [Bm] I wouldn't want her any other [D] way
