[Intro 1]
[E][A][E][A][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]I never thought it would happen[A]
With me and the girl from [E]Clapham
Out on the windy [C#m]com mon
That night I ain't for[E]gotten
When she dealt out the [A]ra tions
With some or other [E]passions
I said "you are a [C#m]la dy"
"Perhaps" she [E]said. "I may be"

[Verse 2]
[E]We moved in to a bas[A]ement
With thoughts of our en[E]gagement
We stayed in by the [C#m]te lly
Although the room was [E]smelly
We spent our time just [A]kissing
The Railway Arms we're [E]missing
But love had got us [C#m]hooked up
And all our [E]time it took up

[Verse 3]
[E]I got a job with Sta[A]nley
He said I'd come in [E]handy
And started me on [C#m]Mon day
So I had a bath on [E]Sunday
I worked eleven [A]hours
And bought the girl some [E]flowers
She said she'd seen a [C#m]doc tor
And nothing [E]now could stop her

[Bridge 1]
[C#m]I worked all through the winter[G#m]
The weather brass and [F#m]bitter
I put away a [Bm]tenner
Each week to make her [Dm]better
And when the time was [Am]ready
We had to sell the [Gm]telly
Late evenings by the [F]fire
With little [A]kicks inside her

[Verse 4]
[D]This morning at four fif[G]ty
I took her rather [D]nifty
Down to an incu[Bm]ba tor
Where thirty minutes [D]later
She gave birth to a [G]daughter
Within a year a [D]walker
She looked just like her [Bm]mo ther
If there could [D]be [A]another

[Verse 5]
[E]And now she's two years old[A]er
Her mother's with a [E]soldier
She left me when my [C#m]drink ing
Became a proper [E]stinging
The devil came and [A]took me
From bar to street to [E]bookie
No more nights by the [C#m]tel ly
No more nights nap[E]pies smelling

[Verse 6]
[E]Alone here in the kit[A]chen
I feel there's something [E]missing
I'd beg for some for[C#m]giveness
But begging's not my [E]business
And she won't write a [A]letter
Although I always [E]tell her
And so it's my as[C#m]sump tion
I'm really up [E]the junction
