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