| 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
