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 talks of our engagement
                    C#m
We stayed in by the telly
                      E
Although the room was smelly
                       A
We spent our time just kissin'
                       E
The Railway Arms we're missin'
                    C#m
But love had got us hooked up
                    E
And all the time it took off

[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
And 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
I 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 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]  
E                       A
And now she's two years older
                    E
Her mother's with a soldier
                    C#m
She left me with my drinkin'
                E
Became a proper stingin'
                   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

[Verse 6] 
E                 A 
Alone here in the kitchen
                         E
I feel there's somethin' missin'
                  C#m
I beg for some forgiveness
                    E
But beggin'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
