Lyrics

[Intro]
| B | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
   E
As I was walin' 'round Grosvenor Square.
B      E
 Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
B
A                 E       A                  E
 From the other direction she was calling my eye.
A                   E     A                   E
 It could be an illusion, but I might as well try,
              B
might as well try.

[Verse 2]
        E
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
B          E
 And I knew without asking she was into the blues
B
A                   E     A                E
 She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
A              E           A              E
 I knew right away she was not like other girls like other
B
girls.

[Chorus]
       F#
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
      B                           A                E
Cause heaven works out the way it does in this song
Hey
     F#
'Cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light
       B                          A                E
Of the strangest of places if you look at it right.

[Verse 3]
F# A B
B           E
 It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
          B
Because a woman took her lovin' over me
    E
And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
          B
Because I sold off all my personal property
        A                       E
A tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic mess
   A                           E
We toured to the north, south, east,
and west
   A                         E
We sold some mushroom tea we sold some ecstacy
        A                         E
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin,
and pcp

[Bridge]
          B
And now I hear the police comin' after me
Yes now I hear the police comin' after me
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair
Now she's got the police comin' after me

[Verse 4]
    E
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves
B     E
 All scarlet bego nias and a touch of the blues
B
A                             E         A
 And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her
   E
eye
A                           E     A                 E
 I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by let it
     B
pass by.
