♫ Verse 1:
E MajorE             A augmentedA
 I never thought it would happen
             E MajorE
With me and the girl from Clapham
         C# minorC#m
Out on the windy common
           E MajorE
That night I ain't forgotten
            A augmentedA
Where she dealt out the rations
          E MajorE
With some or other passions
          C# minorC#m
I said, "You are a lady"
            E MajorE
"Perhaps", she said, "I may be"

♫ Verse 2:
E MajorE        A augmentedA
 We moved into a basement
            E MajorE
With thoughts of our engagement
          C# minorC#m
We stayed in by the telly
            E MajorE
Although the room was smelly
            A augmentedA
We spent our time just kissing
            E MajorE
The Railway Arms we're missing
          C# minorC#m
But love had got us hooked up
          E MajorE
And all our time it took up


♫ Verse 3:
E MajorE         A augmentedA
 I got a job with Stanley
          E MajorE
He said I'd come in handy
           C# minorC#m
And he started me on Monday
          E MajorE
So I had a bath on Sunday
        A augmentedA
I worked eleven hours
            E MajorE
To bought the girl some flowers
           C# minorC#m
She said she'd seen a doctor
           E MajorE
And nothing now could stop her

♫ Bridge:
C# minorC#m            G# minorG#m
 I worked all through the winter
           F# minorF#m
The weather brass and bitter
        B minorBm
And put away a tenner
           DmDm
Each week to make her better
           A minorAm
And when the time was ready
          G minorGm
We had to sell the telly
           FF
Late evenings by the fire
         A augmentedA
And little kicks inside her


♫ Verse 4:
D MajorD         G+G
 This morning at 4:50
         D MajorD
I took her rather nifty
        B minorBm
Down to an incubator
           D MajorD
Where thirty minutes later
          G+G
She gave birth to a daughter
        D MajorD
Within a year a walker
             B minorBm
She looked just like her mother
          D MajorD   Dsus2Dsus2
If there could be another


♫ Verse 5:
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 And now she's two years older
          E MajorE
Her mother's with a soldier
          C# minorC#m
She left me when my drinking
         E MajorE
Became a proper stinging
          A augmentedA
The devil came and took me
           E MajorE
From bar to street to bookie
           C# minorC#m
No more nights by the telly
            E MajorE
No more nights nappies smelly


♫ Verse 6:
E MajorE         A augmentedA
 Alone here in the kitchen
             E MajorE
I feel there's something missing
          C# minorC#m
I'd beg for some forgiveness
           E MajorE
But begging's not my business
           A augmentedA
And she won't write a letter
         E MajorE
Although I always tell her
         C# minorC#m
And so it's my assumption
         E MajorE
I'm really up the junction
