Pink Floyd - Southampton Dock (Waters)

F

They disembarked in 45,

Bb

And no-one spoke and no-one smiled

C F

There were to many spaces in the line.

Gathered at the cenotaph

Bb

All agreed with the 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.

In quiet desperation knuckles

Bb

White upon the slippery reins

C F

She bravely waves the boys goodbye again.

Bb Bbm F

Mm______.

Bb

And still the dark stain spreads between

F

His shoulder blades.

Bb F F7 Gm7

A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.

F7 Bb 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.
