[Verse 1]
E I never thought it would hapApen
With me and the girl from EClapham
Out on a windy comC#mmon
That night I ain't forEgotten
When she dealt out the raAtions
With some or other pasEsions
I said, "You are a laC#mdy"
"Perhaps," she said,E "I may be"
[Verse 2]
E We moved into a baseAment
With thoughts of our enEgagement
We stayed in by the telC#mly
Although the room was Esmelly
We spent our time just Akissing
The Railway Arms we're Emissing
But love had got us hookedC#m up
And all our timeE it took up
[Verse 3]
E I got a job with AStanley
He said I'd come in Ehandy
And started me on MonC#mday
So I had a bath on ESunday
I worked eleven hours A
And bought the girl some Eflowers
She said she'd seen a docC#mtor
And nothing nowE could stop her
[Bridge]
C#m I worked all through the G#mwinter
The weather brass and F#mbitter
I put away a Bmtenner
Each week to make her Dmbetter
And when the time was Amready
We had to sell the Gmtelly
Late evenings by the Ffire
With little kicksA inside her
[Verse 4]
D This morning at 4:G50
I took her rather Dnifty
Down to an incubaBmtor
Where thirty minutes Dlater
She gave birth to a Gdaughter
Within a year a Dwalker
She looked just like her moBmther
If there could beD another
[Verse 5]
E And now she's two years Aolder
Her mother's with a Esoldier
She left me when my drinC#mking
Became a proper Estinging
The devil came and Atook me
From bar to street to Ebookie
No more nights by the C#mtelly
No more nights napEpies smelly
[Verse 6]
E Alone here in the Akitchen
I feel there's something Emissing
I'd beg for some forC#mgiveness
But begging's not my Ebusiness
And she won't write a Aletter
Although I always Etell her
And so it's my assumC#mption
I'm really up Ethe junction
