Pink Floyd - Southampton Dock (Waters)


FThey (133211@1)disembarked in 45,

BbAnd (x1333x@1)no-one spoke and no-one smiled

C (x32010@1)                                FThere (133211@1)were to many spaces in the line.


Gathered at the cenotaph

BbAll (x1333x@1)agreed with the hand on heart,

C (x32010@1)                            FTo (133211@1)sheath the sacrificial knives.

            FBut (133211@1)now she stands upon Southampton dock

         BbWith (x1333x@1)her handkerchief

                     CAnd (x32010@1)her summer frock clings

                          FTo (133211@1)her wet body in the rain.


In quiet desperation knuckles

BbWhite (x1333x@1)upon the slippery reins

    C (x32010@1)                               FShe (133211@1)bravely waves the boys goodbye again.

    Bb (x1333x@1)       Bbm (x13321@1) FMm______. (133211@1)

BbAnd (x1333x@1)still the dark stain spreads between

    FHis (133211@1)shoulder blades.

Bb (x1333x@1)                   F (133211@1)                       F7 (131241@1)Gm7
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.

F7 (131241@1)Bb (x1333x@1)               C (x32010@1)    Dm7  C7/E
And when the fight was over

   F (133211@1)        Am7 (x02010@1)    DmWe (xx0231@1)spent what they had made.

    Gm7
But in the bottom of our hearts

                  FWe (133211@1)felt the final cut.
