  			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 (chords are the same as verse 1) 
------- 
We moved into a basement 
With talks of our engagement 
We stayed in by the telly 
Although the room was smelly 
We spent our time just kissin' 
The Railway Arms we're missin' 
But love had got us hooked up 
And all the time it took off 
 
 
Verse 3 (chords are the same as verse 1) 
------- 
I got a job with Stanley 
He said I'd come in handy 
And he started me on Monday 
So I had a bath on Sunday 
I worked eleven hours 
And bought the girl some flowers 
She said she'd seen a doctor 
And nothing now could stop her

C#m                      G#m 
I worked all through the winter 
                      F#m 
The weather brass and bitter 
             B 
I put away a tenner 
                      D 
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 four fifty 
                  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       D A E 
If there could be another 
 
 
Verse 5 (chords are the same as verse 1) 
------- 
And now she's two years older 
Her mother's with a soldier 
She left me with my drinkin' 
Became a proper stingin' 
The devil came and took me 
From bar to street to bookie 
No more nights by the telly 
No more nights nappies smelling 
 
 
Verse 6 (chords are the same as verse 1) 
------- 
Alone here in the kitchen 
I feel there's somethin' missin' 
I beg for some forgiveness 
But beggin's not my business 
And she won't write a letter 
Although I always tell her 
And so it's my assumption 
I'm really up the junction
