Southampton Dock- Pink Floyd Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
They disembarked in forty-five, [Bb] and no one spoke and no one smiled.
[C] There were too many spaces [F] in the line,
And gathered at the cenotaph,
[Bb] All agreed with hand on heart,
[C] To sheath the sacrificial [F] knives.
But now, she stands upon Southampton Dock,
[C] [Bb] With her handkerchief and her summer frock,
[C] Clings to her wet body in [F] the rain.
In quiet desperation, [Bb] knuckles light upon the slippery reins,
She bravely waves the boys [F] goodbye again.
[Bb]
[Bbm] [F]
[G] [Bb] Still the dark stain spreads between [F] their shoulder blades,
[Bb] A mute reminder of the poppy fields and [F] grains.
[Eb] [G] [Bb] When the fight [C] was over, [F] we spent what [Am] they had.
[Dm]
[Gm] In the bottom of our hearts, we felt the final [F] kiss.
