[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

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
