Up the Junction Squeeze
[Verse 1]
[E]I never thought it would [A]happen
With me and the girl from [E]Clapham
Out on the windy [C#m]common
That night I ain't [E]forgotten
Where she dealt out the [A]rations
With some or othe[E]r passions
I said you are a[C#m] lady
Perhaps she said I may[E] be
[Verse 2]
[E]We moved into a bas[A]ement
With talks of our enga[E]gement
We stayed in by the [C#m]telly
Although the room was s[E]melly
We spent our time just k[A]issin'
The Railway Arms we're m[E]issin'
But love had got us hoo[C#m]ked up
And all the time it took[E] off
[Verse 3]
[E]I got a job with S[A]tanley
He said I'd come in [E]handy
And he started me on[C#m] Monday
So I had a bath on [E]Sunday
I worked eleven [A]hours
And bought the girl some [E]flowers
She said she'd seen a [C#m]doctor
And nothing now could st[E]op her
[Bridge]
[C#m]I worked all through the w[G#m]inter
The weather brass and [F#m]bitter
I put away a [Bm]tenner
Each week to make her [Dm]better
And when the time was[Am] ready
We had to sell the[Gm] telly
Late evenings by the [F]fire
Those little kicks inside[A] her
[Verse 4]
[D]This morning at four f[G]ifty
I took her rather n[D]ifty
Down to an incu[Bm]bator
Where thirty minutes l[D]ater
She gave birth to a dau[G]ghter
Within a year a wa[D]lker
She looked just like her m[Bm]other
If there could be an[D]other[D] [A] [E]
[Verse 5]
[E]And now she's two years [A]older
Her mother's with a [E]soldier
She left me with my[C#m] drinkin'
Became a proper [E]stingin'
The devil came and [A]took me
From bar to street to [E]bookie
No more nights by the [C#m]telly
No more night's nappies [E]smelling
(Verse 6)
[E]Alone here in the k[A]itchen
I feel there's somethin [E]missin
I beg for some fo[C#m]rgiveness
But beggin's not my [E]business
And she won't write a[A] letter
Although I always [E]tell her
And so it's my [C#m]assumption
I'm really up the [E]junction
