Brezhnev took Afghanistan.

Galtieri took the Union Jack.

And Maggie, over lunch one day,

Took a cruiser with all hands.

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.
