Mansard Roof

	  		F 
I see a mansard roof through the trees, 
F                     Gm 
I see a salty message written in the eves, 
   C 
The ground beneath my feet 
         F	          Dm 
The hot garbage and concrete, 
            Gm 
And now the tops of buildings 
C	              F 
I can see them too!

F 
The argentines collapse in defeat, 
F                      Gm 
The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet, 
   C 
The ground beneath their feet 
     F                  Dm 
Is a nautically map sheet 
       Gm 
As thin as paper 
C                           F 
While it slips away from you.
