Verse: 1 
          C            G         D            G 
There's a place in the city they call the Archway 
         C            G           A        D 
Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day 
      C           G              D            G 
And I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years 
       C               G             D          G    G 
And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared 


C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
       C             G                A             D 
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones 
C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
      C                 G          D           G   G 
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done 

Verse: 2 
  C          G       D           G 
I found me a band, I went out on tour 
       C                 G       A                D 
So the kids wouldn't know, I was with them no more 
          C                     G       D            G 
When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!" 
       C          G         D              G  G 
Oh, if only stars knew what fools they all are 


C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
       C             G                A             D 
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones 
C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
      C                 G          D           G   G 
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done 

Verse: 3 
  C         G           D         G 
I got a new contract, I got a new life 
        C              G          A             D 
No more capstans for me, and I've got a new wife 
    C              G               D           G 
Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family 
          C                G        D              G G 
Then that nightmare returns, like a ghost haunting me 

 
C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
       C               G             A             D 
When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones 
C        G          D             G 
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons 
      C                G          D         G   G C G 
How I hope you all cope, with the damage we done
