[D] I never thought it would [G] happen
With me and the girl from [D] Clapham
Out on the windy [Bm] common
That night I ain't [D] forgotten
When she dealt out the [G] rations
With some or other [D] passions
I said, "You are a [Bm] lady"
"Perhaps," she said, "I [D] may be"
We [D] moved into a [G] basement
With thoughts of our [D] engagement
We stayed in by the [Bm] telly
Although the room was [D] smelly
We spent our time just [G] kissing
The Railway Arms we're [D] missing
But love had got us [Bm] hooked up
And all our time it, [D] took up
[D] I got a job with [G] Stanley
He said I'd come in [D] handy
And started me on [Bm] Monday
So I had a bath on [D] Sunday
I worked eleven [G] hours
And bought the girl some [D] flowers
She said she'd seen a [Bm] doctor
And nothing now could, [D] stop her
[Bm] I worked all through the[F#m] winter
The weather brass and [Em] bitter
I put away a [A] tenner
Each week to make her [C] better
And when the time was [Gm] ready
We had to sell the [Fm] telly
Late evenings by the [Eb] fire
With little kicks, [G] inside her
{np}
[C] This morning at four-[F]fifty
I took her rather [C] nifty
Down to an incu-[Am]bator
Where thirty minutes [C] later
She gave birth to a [F] daughter
Within a year a [C] walker
She looked just like her [Am] mother
If there could be, an-[C]other [C][G][D]
[D] And now she's two years [G] older
Her mother's with a [D] soldier
She left me when my [Bm] drinking
Became a proper [D] stinging
The devil came and [G] took me
From bar to street to [D] bookie
No more nights by the [Bm] telly
No more nights nappies, [D] smelling
[D] Alone here in the [G] kitchen
I feel there's something [D] missing
I'd beg for some [Bm] forgiveness
But begging's not my [D] business
And she won't write a [G] letter
Although I always tell [D] her
And so it's my a-[Bm]ssumption
I'm really up the, [D] junction [D]
