  SOUTHAMPTON DOCK
  
  Pink Floyd
  
  (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.
