E E                                   B B
As I was walking down rubadub square
E E B B
Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air
A A E E A A E E
From another direction she was caught in my eye
A A E E A A E E
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try
B B B B B B B B
..might as well try
E E B B
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
E E B B
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
A A E E A A E E
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
A A E E A A E E B B B B B B B B
I knew right away she was not like other girls
F# F#
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
B B A A E E E E
As everything works out the way it does in this song
F# F#
'Cause once in a while you get shown in the light
B B A A E E E E
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

E E
It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
B B A A E E
Because the women took the lovin' over me
E E
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
B B A A E E
Because I sold off my personal property
A A E E
A A tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
A A E E
We toured to the north, south, east and west
A A
We sold some mushroom tea,
E E
We sold some ecstasy,
A A E E
We sold nitrus, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
A A E E
Now I hear the police coming after me
A A E E
Yes, now I hear the police coming after me
A A E E
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,
A A E E E E
She's got the police coming after me
E E B B
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
E E B B
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
A A E E A A E E
And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes
A A E E A A E E
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by.
B B
let her pass by.
