[Verse 1]
          C            G         D            G
There's a place in the city they call the Archway
         C            G           A        D
Where we rented three rooms for a dollar a day
      C           G              D            G
And I worked semi-skilled at the capstans for years
       C               G             D          G    G
And my wife was a good woman but the love disappeared

[Chorus]
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
       C             G                A             D
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
      C                 G          D           G   G
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done

[Verse 2]
  C          G       D           G
I found me a band, I went out on tour
       C                 G       A                D
So the kids wouldn't know, I was with them no more
          C                     G       D            G
When they said, "Where's me dad?" She'd say, "He's a star!"
       C          G         D              G  G
Oh, if only stars knew what fools they all are

[Chorus]
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
       C             G                A             D
When a marriage goes down they're the loneliest ones
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
      C                 G          D           G   G
How I hope they can cope, with the damage I've done

[Verse 3]
  C         G           D         G
I got a new contract, I got a new life
        C              G          A             D
No more capstans for me, and I've got a new wife
    C              G               D           G
Sometimes she gets angry, says she wants a family
          C                G        D              G G
Then that nightmare returns, like a ghost haunting me

[Chorus]
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
       C               G             A             D
When a marriage breaks up you're the loneliest ones
C        G          D             G
Sons and Daughters, Daughters and Sons
      C                G          D         G   G C G
How I hope you all cope, with the damage we done
