 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.
