G

Brezhnev took Afghanistan

C

And 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
Uuuuuuuh Maggie what have you done?

G
They disembarked in 45,

C
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled

D G
There were to many spaces in the line

Gathered at the cenotaph

C
All agreed with the hand on heart,

D G
To sheath the sacrificial knives

G
But now she stands upon Southampton dock

C
With her handkerchief

D
And her summer frock clings

G
To her wet body in the rain.

In quiet desperation knuckles

C
White upon the slippery reins

D G
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again

C G
Uuuuuuuh Maggie what have you done?

C
And still the dark stain spreads between

G
His shoulder blades

C G G7 Am7
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves

G7 C D Em7 D7
And when the fight was over

G Cm7 Em
We spent what they had made

Am7
But in the bottom of our hearts

We felt the final cut.
