Chords for Chris Difford - Up The Junction

_ _ _ _ _
I never thought [E] it would happen
[A] I _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
never thought [D] it would happen
With [A] me and the girl from Clapton
Out on [F#m] the windy Common
That night [A] I ain't forgotten
When she'd down out the rations
The summer of her passion
I said [F#m] you are a lady
Perhaps [A] you said I may be _ _ _ _
We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We [F#m] stayed in by the telly
[A] Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The railway arms were missing
And [F#m] a lover goddess hooked her
And all that time it took her _ _ _
I got a job with Stanley
She said I'd come in handy
And started [F#m] me on Monday
So [A] I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd [F#m] seen a doctor
[A] And nothing now could stop her _ _
I worked on [C#m] through the winter
The [Bm] weather brass and bitter
I [Em] put away a tenner
To [Gm] make her better
And [Dm] when the time was ready
We [Cm] had to sell the telly
Lady [A#] means by the fire
Her [D] little kicks inside her
_ _ [G] _
This [C] morning at four fifty
I [G] took her out the nifty
Down to [E] an incubator
[G] Thirty minutes later
She [C] gave birth to a daughter
Within [G] a year of walk up
She looked [E] just like her mother
If there [G] could be another
_ _ _ [A] _
And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She let [F#m] me wear my drink
It [A] became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From Barber Street to Bookie
No more [F#m] nights by the telly
No more [A] nights nappy smelling _ _ _ _
Alone [D] here in the kitchen
I feel [A] there's something missing
I begged [C#] for some forgiveness
But [A] begging's not my business
She [D] won't write a letter
Although [A] I always tell her
And so [C#] it's my assumption
[A] I'm really up the junction _ _ _ _
