[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
                         Bm6
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
