Beeswing - Christy Moore
C
I was eighteen when I came to town they called it the summer of love
C G F
Burnin' babies burnin' flags the hawks against the dove
C
I took a job at the steaming way down on Caltrim Street
C G F
Fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me
C
Brown hair zig-zagged around her face and a look of half surprise
C G F
Like a fox caught in the headlights there was animal in her eyes
C
She said to me can’t you see I’m not the factory kind
C G F
and if you don’t take me out of here I’ll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
Am G F
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G F
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 2]
C
We busked around the market towns, fruit pickin down in Kent
C G F
We could tinker pots and pans or knives wherever we went
C
We were campin down the Gower one time, the work was mighty good
C G F
She wouldn’t wait for the harvest, I thought we should
C
I said to her we’ll settle down, get a few acres dug
C G F
With a fire burning in the hearth and babbies on the rug
Am G C
She said Oh man you foolish man that surely sounds like hell
F C G F
You might be lord of half the world, you’ll not own me as well
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
Am C
She was a lost child, she was runnin’ wild (she said)
Am G F
So long as theres no price on love I’ll stay
Dm G F
You wouldn’t want me any other way
[Verse 3]
C
We were drinking more in those days, our tempers reached a pitch
C G F
Like a fool I let her run away when she took the rambling itch
C
And the last I heard she was living rough, back on the Derby beat
C G F
With a bottle of White Horse in her pocket, a Wolfhound at her feet
C
And they say that she got married once to a man called Romany Brown
C G F
Even a gypsy caravan was too much like settlin’ down
Am G C
They say her rose has faded, rough weather and hard booze
F C G F
Maybe thats the price you pay for the chains that you refuse
[Chorus]
Am C
She was a rare thing fine as a bee’s wing
Am G F
and I miss her more than ever words can say
Am C
If I could just taste all her, wildness now
Am G F
If I could hold her in my arms today
Dm G F
I wouldn’t want her any other way
Dm G F
oh I wouldn’t want her any other way......
Bird on the Wire [A]
Leonard Cohen
Like a [A] bird on the [E7] wire

I have [A] torn every[E7]one who reached [A] out for me [Asus4] [A]
But I [A] swear by this [E7] song
And by [A] all that [A7] I have done [D] wrong
I will [A] make it [E7] all up to [A] thee [Asus4] [A]
[D] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [A] crutch
[Bm] He said to me you must not ask for so [A] much [Asus4] [A]
[D] And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened [A] door
[Bm] She cried to me hey why not ask for [E7] more [E7sus4] [E7]
Like a [A] bird on the [E7] wire
Like a [A] drunk in a [A7] midnight [D] choir
I have [A] tried in my [E7] way to be [D] free [A]
