Mansard Roof

F
I see a mansard roof through the trees,
F                     Gm
I see a salty message written in the eves,
   C
The ground beneath my feet
         F                Dm
The hot garbage and concrete,
            Gm
And now the tops of buildings
C                     F
I can see them too!

F
The argentines collapse in defeat,
F                      Gm
The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet,
   C
The ground beneath their feet
     F                  Dm
Is a nautically map sheet
       Gm
As thin as paper
C                           F
While it slips away from you.
