[Verse 1]
GI was nineteen when I came to town
D/F#They called it the Summer of Love
EmThey were burning babies, burning flags
D CThe hawks against the doves
GI took a job in the steamie
D/F#Down on Cauldrum Street
EmI fell in love with a laundry girl
D CWho was working next to me
[Chorus]
CShe was a rare thing
DFine as a beeswing
G D/F# Em DOh so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
CShe was a lost child
DShe was running wild
G D/F# Em DSaid as long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
C G D C G D CAnd you wouldn't want me any other way
[Verse 2]
GBrown hair zig-zagged around her face
D/F#And a look of half-surprise
EmLike a fox caught in the headlights
D CThere was animal in her eyes
GShe said, young man, oh can't you see
D/F#I'm not the factory kind
EmIf you don't take me out of here
D CI'll surely lose my mind
[Chorus]
CShe was a rare thing
DFine as a beeswing
G D/F# Em DOh so fine that I might crush her where she lay
CShe was a lost child
DShe was running wild
G D/F# Em DSaid as long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
C G D C G D CAnd I wouldn't want her any other way
[Verse 3]
GSo we busked around the market towns
D/F#We picked fruit down in Kent
EmWe could tinker lamps and pots and pans
D CAnd knives wherever we went
GAnd I said that we might settle down
D/F#And get a few acres dug
EmA fire burning in the hearth
D CAnd babies on the rug
GShe said oh man, you foolish man
D/F#That surely sounds like hell
EmYou might be lord of half the world
D CYou'll not own me as well
[Chorus]
CShe was a rare thing
DFine as a beeswing
G D/F# Em DOh so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
CShe was a lost child
DShe was running wild
G D/F# Em DSaid as long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
C DAnd you wouldn't want me any other way

[Verse 4]
GWe were camping down the Gower one time
D/F#The work was pretty good
EmShe thought we shouldn't wait for the frost
D CI thought maybe we should
GWe were drinking more in those days
D/F#And fevers reached a pitch
EmAnd like a fool I let her run off
D CWith the rambling itch
GAnd last I heard she's sleeping rough
D/F#Down on the Darby beat
EmWhite horse in her hip pocket
D CAnd a wolfhound at her feet
GAnd they say she even married once
D/F#A man named Romany Brown
EmBut even a traveling caravan
D C CWas too much settling down
GAnd they say her flower is faded now
D/F#Hard weather and hard booze
EmBut maybe that's the price you pay
D CFor the chains you refuse
[Chorus]
CShe was a rare thing
DFine as a beeswing
G D/F# Em DAnd I miss her now more than words could say
CIf I could just taste
DAll of her wildness now
G D/F# Em DIf I could hold her in my arms today
C DThen I wouldn't want her any other way
