Up The Junction Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 IE never thought it would haAppen

 WEith me and the girl from Clapham

 OC♯mut on the windy common

 TEhat night I ain't forgotten

 WAhere she dealt out the rations

 WEith some or other passions

 IC♯m said you are a lady

 PEerhaps 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

Bridge

 IC♯m worked all through the wiG♯mnter

 TF♯mhe weather brass and bitter

 IB put away a tenner

 EDach week to make her better

 AAmnd when the time was ready

 WGme had to sell the telly

 LFate evenings by the fire

 AAnd little kicks inside her

Verse 4

 TDhis morning at four fiGfty

 ID took her rather nifty

 DBmown to an incubator

 WDhere thirty minutes later

 SGhe gave birth to a daughter

 WDithin a year a walker

 SBmhe looked just like her mother

 IDf there cDoulAd bEe 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
