Pink Floyd - Southampton Dock (Waters)


FF
They disembarked in 45,

Bb majorBb
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled

C majorC                 FF
There were to many spaces in the line.


Gathered at the cenotaph

Bb majorBb
All agreed with the hand on heart,

C majorC               FF
To sheath the sacrificial knives.

      FF
But now she stands upon Southampton dock

     Bb majorBb
With her handkerchief

           C majorC
And her summer frock clings

             FF
To her wet body in the rain.


In quiet desperation knuckles

Bb majorBb
White upon the slippery reins

  C majorC                 FF
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again.

  Bb majorBb     BbmBbm  FF
Mm______.


Bb majorBb
And still the dark stain spreads between

  FF
His shoulder blades.

Bb majorBb           FF             F7F7 Gm7Gm7
A augmentedA mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.

F7F7 Bb majorBb         C majorC   Dm7Dm7 C7/EC7/E
And when the fight was over

  FF     Am7Am7   DmDm
We spent what they had made.

  Gm7Gm7
But in the bottom of our hearts

         FF
We felt the final cut.
