Pink Floyd – Southampton Dock (Guitar)

F
 They disembarked in 45

Bb
  And no one spoke and no one smiled

C                                      F
 There were too many spaces in the line

    F
And gathered at the cenotaph

Bb
  All agreed with hand on heart

C                                F
 To sheath the sacrificial knives

             F
But now, she stands upon Southampton dock

         Bb
With her handkerchief

                     C
And her summer frock clings

                          F
To her wet body in the rain

   F
In quiet desperation

         Bb
Knuckles white upon the slippery reins

    C                                   F
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again

    Bb   Bbm   F      F Gm7 F/A
Mmm-mm

Bb
   And still the dark stain spreads between

      F
their shoulder blades

Bb                        F                        F7  F/A Gm7 F7
   A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves

    Bb                 C      C Dm7 C7/E
And when the fight was over

   F          Am7      Dm
We spent what they had made

    Gm7
But     in the bottom of our hearts

                  F
We felt the final cut
