Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
 C
Begin took Beirut.
D                        G
Galtieri took the Union Jack.

      G
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
        C
Took a cruiser with all hands.
  D                             G
Apparently, to make him give it back
    C                       G ~~
Uuuuh! Maggie what have you done?

They disembarked in 45
C                      C
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
    D                            G
There were to many spaces in the line.
 G                         C
Gathered at the cenotaph
  C
All agreed with the hand on heart
 D                             G
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes.
G ~~ G
But now
 G                         G
She stands upon Southampton dock
C
With her handkerchief
                    D
And her summer frock clings
                       G
To her wet body in the rain.
G                   C
In quiet desperation knuckles
C
White upon the slippery reins
     D                              G
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again.
 C                       G ~~
Uuuuh! Maggie what have you done?

His shoulder blades.
C                        G
  A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
 C                      D
And when the fight was over
    G       D          C
We spent what they had made.

But

in the bottom of our hearts

We felt the final cut.
