Pink Floyd - Southhampton Dock: chords

F
They disembarked in 45,
A#
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
C                                 F
There were to many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
A#
All agreed with the hand on heart,
C                           F
To sheath the sacrificial knives.
But now, she stands upon Southampton dock
         A#
With her handkerchief
                        C
And her summer frock, clings
                        F
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation, knuckles
  A#
White upon the slippery reins
      C                              F
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again.

A#
And still the dark stain spreads between
        F
their shoulder blades.
A#                      F                    F7 Gm7
a mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
F7   A#                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.
