Verse 1
E
A
I never thought it would happen
E
With me and the girl from Clapham
C#m
Out on the windy common
E
That night I ain't forgotten
A
When she dealt out the rations
E
With some or other passions
C#m
I said "you are a lady"
E
"Perhaps" she said. "I may be"
Verse 2
E
A
We moved in to a basement
E
With thoughts of our engagement
C#m
We stayed in by the telly
E
Although the room was smelly
A
We spent our time just kissing
E
The Railway Arms we're missing
C#m
But love had got us hooked up
E
And all our time it took up
Verse 3
E
A
I got a job with Stanley
E
He said I'd come in handy
C#m
And started me on Monday
E
So I had a bath on Sunday
A
I worked eleven hours
E
And bought the girl some flowers
C#m
She said she'd seen a doctor
E
And nothing now could stop her
Bridge 1
C#m
G#m
I worked all through the winter
F#m
The weather brass and bitter
Bm
I put away a tenner
Dm
Each week to make her better
Am
And when the time was ready
Gm
We had to sell the telly
F
Late evenings by the fire
A
With little kicks inside her
Verse 4
D
G
This morning at four fifty
D
I took her rather nifty
Bm
Down to an incubator
D
Where thirty minutes later
G
She gave birth to a daughter
D
Within a year a walker
Bm
She looked just like her mother
D
A
If there could be another
Verse 5
E
A
And now she's two years older
E
Her mother's with a soldier
C#m
She left me when my drinking
E
Became a proper stinging
A
The devil came and took me
E
From bar to street to bookie
C#m
No more nights by the telly
E
No more nights nappies smelling
Verse 6
E
A
Alone here in the kitchen
E
I feel there's something missing
C#m
I'd beg for some forgiveness
E
But begging's not my business
A
And she won't write a letter
E
Although I always tell her
C#m
And so it's my assumption
E
I'm really up the junction
