[Verse]
                         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      
When 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
                 A       
We moved in to 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
                 A      
I got a job with Stanley
                    E    
He said I'd come in handy
                  C#m   
And started me on Monday
                   E     
So I had a bath on Sunday
                A    
I worked eleven hours
                         E      
And bought the girl some flowers
                      C#m   
She said she'd seen a doctor
                E              C#m
And nothing now could stop her ■  


[Chorus]
                         G#m   
I worked all through the winter
                      F#7   
The weather brass and bitter
             Bm    
I put away a tenner
                      D     
Each week to make her better
                      A    
And when the time was ready
                   Gm   
We had to sell the telly
                     F   
Late evenings by the fire
                  A      A7  D
With little kicks inside her ■
                     G    
This morning at four fifty
                  D    
I took her rather nifty
           D        
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      
If there could be another
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 smelling
                  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
