Verse 1:

     C majorC      G+G     D MajorD      G+G
There's a place in the city they call the Archway

     C majorC      G+G      A augmentedA    D MajorD
Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day

   C majorC      G+G       D MajorD      G+G
And I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years

    C majorC        G+G       D MajorD     G+G  G+G
And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared

Chorus:

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

    C majorC       G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

   C majorC         G+G     D MajorD      G+G  G+G
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done

Verse 2:

 C majorC     G+G    D MajorD      G+G
I found me a band, I went out on tour

    C majorC         G+G    A augmentedA        D MajorD
So the kids wouldn't know, I was with them no more

     C majorC           G+G    D MajorD      G+G
When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!"

    C majorC     G+G     D MajorD       G+G G+G
Oh, if only stars knew what fools they all are

Chorus:

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

    C majorC       G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

   C majorC         G+G     D MajorD      G+G  G+G
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done

Verse 3:

 C majorC     G+G      D MajorD     G+G
I got a new contract, I got a new life

    C majorC       G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
No more capstans for me, and I've got a new wife

  C majorC       G+G        D MajorD      G+G
Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family

     C majorC        G+G    D MajorD       G+G G MajorG
Then that nightmare returns, like a ghost haunting me

Chorus:

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

    C majorC        G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD
When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones

C majorC    G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons

   C majorC        G+G     D MajorD     G+G  G+G C majorC G+G
How I hope you all cope, with the damage we done
