  • tuning (DADGBE), capo 3rd fret
    I've been working on this lovely acoustic ballad for a while. The
    transcription is not perfect, especially on the chorus, but should be
  • close enough to get you in the ballpark. I have not attempted to
    transcribe the solo. Corrections/Additions cheerfully welcomed, so long
    as critics take the difficulty of transcribing something like this into
  • account. The chord names are written with the capo in mind; the song is
    actually in F, but is transcribed here in D. I usually play the B on
    the low A string by hammering on, which gives a little extra nuance.
  • (This is why the D chords are notated as D (D6)). You can also throw in
    the low D string on the verse to add extra drive. On the chorus, I'mm
    not quite sure if I really hear the low G on the G chord--the B is
  • certainly there, but I can't tell about the G.

    Intro
  • Verse
    D (D6)
    I was nineteen when I came to town
  • They called it the summer of love
    They were burning babies, burning flags
    A G
  • The Hawks against the Doves
    D (D6)
    I took a job in the steamie
  • Down on Caldrum Street
    I fell in love with a laundry girl
    A G
  • Was working next to me
     
    Chorus
  • Bm A/C# D
    She was a rare thing, fine as a Beeswing
    G A G/B A/C# D
  • So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
    Bm A/C# D
    She was a lost child, she was running wild
  • G A G/B A/C# D A/C#
    She said, as long as there's no price on love I'll stay
    G A G/B A/C# D
  • And you wouldn't want me any other way
     
    Brownhair zig zag round her face
  • And a look of half surprise
    Like a fox caught in the headlights
    There was animal in her eyes
  • She said young man, O can't you see
    I'm not the factory kind
    If you don't take me out of here
  • I'll surely lose my mind
     
    She was a rare thing, fine as a Beeswing
  • So fine that I might crush her where she lay
    She was a lost child, she was running wild
    She said, as long as there's no price on love I'll stay
  • And you wouldn't want me any other way
     
    We busked around the market towns
  • And picked fruit down in Kent
    And we could tinker lamps and pots
    And knives wherever we went
  • And I said that we might settle down
    Get a few acres dug
    Fire burning in the hearth
  • And babies on the rug
    She said O man, you foolish man
    That surely sounds like hell
  • You might be lord of half the world
    You'll not own me as well
     
  • She was a rare thing, fine as a Beeswing
    So fine a breathe of wind might blow her away
    She was a lost child, she was running wild
  • She said, as long as there's no price on love I'll stay
    And you wouldn't want me any other way
     
  • We was camping down the Gower one time
    The work was pretty good
    She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost
  • And I thought maybe we should
     
    We were drinking more in those days
  • And tempers reached a pitch
    Like a fool I let her run
    With the rambling itch
  •  
    D
    last I hear she's sleeping out
  • Back on the Darby beat
    White horse in her hip pocket
    And a wolfhound at her feet
  •  
    And they say she even married once
    A man named Romany Brown
  • But even a gypsy caravan
    Was too much settling down
     
  • And they say her flower is faded now
    Hard weather and hard booze
    But maybe that's just the price you pay
  • For the chains you refuse
     
    She was a rare thing, fine as a Beeswing
  • So fine that I might crush her where she lay
    And I miss her more than words could ever say
    If I could just taste, All of her wildness now
  • If I could hold her in my arms today
    Then I wouldn't want her any other way
