Southampton dock

	  		 
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
