There's a ^Cplace in the ^Gcity they ^Dcall the Arch^Gway Where we ^Crented three ^Grooms for a ^Adollar a ^Dday And I ^Cworked semi-^Gskilled at the ^Dcapstans for ^Gyears And my ^Cwife was a good ^Gwoman but the ^Dlove disapp^Geared^G

[Chorus]

^CSons and ^GDaughters, ^DDaughters and ^GSons When a ^Cmarriage goes ^Gdown they're the ^Aloneliest ones^D ^CSons and ^GDaughters, ^DDaughters and ^GSons How I ^Chope they can cope^G, with the ^Ddamage I've ^Gdone^G

[Verse 2]

I ^Cfound me a ^Gband, I ^Dwent out on ^Gtour So the ^Ckids wouldn't know^G, I was ^Awith them no more^D When they ^Csaid, "Where's me dad?^G" She'd ^Dsay, "He's a ^Gstar!" Oh, if ^Conly stars ^Gknew what ^Dfools they all ^Gare^G

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I ^Cgot a new ^Gcontract, I ^Dgot a new ^Glife No more ^Ccapstans for me^G, and I've ^Agot a new wife^D Some^Ctimes she gets ^Gangry, says she ^Dwants a fami^Gly Then that ^Cnightmare returns^G, like a ^Dghost haunting ^Gme^G

[Chorus]

^CSons and ^GDaughters, ^DDaughters and ^GSons When a ^Cmarriage breaks ^Gup you're the ^Aloneliest ones^D ^CSons and ^GDaughters, ^DDaughters and ^GSons How I ^Chope you all cope^G, with the ^Ddamage we ^Gdone^G ^C ^G
