Pink Floyd - Southampton Dock/The Final Cut chords
Start Jamming...
[F] They disembarked in 45, [Bb] no one spoke and no one smiled.
[C] There were too many spaces [F] in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph, [Bb]
all agreed with hand on heart
[C] to sheathe the sacrificial [F] knives.
But now she stands upon Southampton Dock
[Bb] with her handkerchief and her summer frock
[C] clings to her wet body in [F] the rain.
In quiet desperation, [Bb] knuckles right upon the slippery reins
she [C] bravely waves the boys [F] goodbye again.
[Bb]
[Bbm] [F]
[Bb] Still the dark stain spreads between [F] their shoulder blades.
A [Bb] mute reminder of the poppy [F] fields and graves.
[Eb] [Bb]
When the fight [C] was over, [F] we spent what they [Dm] had made.
In [Gm] the bottom of our hearts we felt the [F] final cut.
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained [C] eyes
[F] I can barely define the shape of this moment in time.
I'm far from flying high in clear blue [C] skies.
[Bb] I'm spiralling down to the hole in [F] the ground where I hide.
[Bb] If you negotiate [F] the minefield in the dry
[Bb] unbeat the notes and cheat the code, [F] electronic eyes
[Bb] and if [C] you make it [Dm] past the shutdown to the hole
[Gm] dial the combination, open the priest hole
and if I'm in you take me high.
[F]
[Am] There's a kid [F] who's sufficient.
[Am] They gave love to girls in the [C] pharmacies.
[Bb] He wonders if you're sleeping [Dm] with your newfound faith.
[Gm] Could anybody know him?
Or is it a creepy [F] dream?
And [C]
[Bb] [F]
if I show you [C] my dark side
will you [Bb] still hold me tonight?
[F]
And if I open [C] my heart to you
show you my weak side
what [F] would you do?
[Bb] Would you sell your story to [F] Rolling Stone?
Would [Bb] you take the children away?
[F] And leave me [Bb] a smile in [C] reassurance
[Dm] as you whisper down the phone
[Gm] would you send me packing?
[C]
[F]
[Am] [F]
[Am] [C]
[Bb] [Dm]
[Gm]
[C] [F] [Am] Thought I heard a naked [F] feeling.
[Am] Thought I heard a teleconfege
[C] [Bb] in trembling [Dm] hands
preparing to make it worse.
[Gm] Just then the phone rang.
I never had the [F] nerve to make the phone call.
[C] [F] [Bb]
