 G 
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?
(G)
     G 
They disembarked in 45
 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~~ 
But now
   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?
 C 
And still the dark stain spreads between
 G 
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.

in the bottom of our hearts
