| E  | A  | E  | A  | E  |



♫ 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
Where 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 into 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 he started me on Monday
          E
So I had a bath on Sunday
        A
I worked eleven hours
            E
To bought the girl some flowers
           C#m
She said she'd seen a doctor
           E
And nothing now could stop her


♫ Bridge:
C#m            G#m
 I worked all through the winter
           F#m
The weather brass and bitter
        Bm
And 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
And little kicks inside her


♫ Verse 4:
D         G
 This morning at 4:50
         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   Dsus2
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 smelly


♫ 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
