Squeeze - Up The Junction Chords

[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
Those little kicks inside her


[Verse 4]

D                     G
This morning at four fifty
                   D
I took her rather nifty
               Bm
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 night's 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
