C F

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