Pink Floyd
Southampton Dock
The Final Cut (1983)

(goélands)

F
They disembarked in 45
B♭
And no one spoke and no one smiled
C                                F
There were to many spaces in the line

Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with the hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial knives - but now

She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief, and her summer frock
Clings to her wet body in the rain

In quiet desperation knuckles                    (doublé)
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again

   B♭  B♭m  F~
Mmmmm

B♭                 f e d  F                       a c f e e♭
   A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves         F7

e f g  F          Am7      Dm
c d We spent what they had made, but

Gm7                                               F
    In the bottom of our hearts we felt the final cut
