Roger Waters – Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert And Southampton Dock (Guitar)

G
Brezhnev took Afghanistan

C
And Begin took Beirut

D                       G
Galtieri took the Union Jack

    G
And Maggie, over lunch one day,

       C
Took a cruiser with all hands

  D                              G
Apparently to make him give it back.

        C                          G
Uuuuuuuh Maggie what have you done?

G
They disembarked in 45,

C
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled

D                                  G
There were to many spaces in the line

C
All agreed with the hand on heart,

D                              G
To sheath the sacrificial knives

            G
But now she stands upon Southampton dock

         C
With her handkerchief

                     D
And her summer frock clings

                          G
To her wet body in the rain.

C
White upon the slippery reins

    D                                 G
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again

        C                          G
Uuuuuuuh Maggie what have you done?

C
And still the dark stain spreads between

    G
His shoulder blades

C                      G                        G7  Am7
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves

G7  C                  D      Em7  D7
And when the fight was over

   G          Cm7      Em
We spent what they had made

    Am7
But in the bottom of our hearts
