Sink The Bismark


 D                           A                     D 
In May of 1941 the war had just begun
       G                                                    D 
The Germans had the biggest ship they had the biggest guns

The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
                                                                      A                      D 
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees

                                                                   A                      D 
Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
       G                                    D 
And every British seaman he knew and understood

They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea
                                                                   A                     D 
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees

                                                              A                    D 
We'll find the German battleship that's making such a fuss
                                                             A                         D 
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
         G                                                  D 
Yeah hit the decks a running boys and spin those guns around
                                                    A                 D 
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down       
 
                                                        A                D 
The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
       G                                  D 
The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away

We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound
                                                                    A                           D 
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down

                                                                A                       D 
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
 G                                           D 
Churchill told the people put every ship a-sail

Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
                                                      A                    D 
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea

Repeat #3
                                                                     A                        D 
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun
      G                                                 D                           
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run

The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around
                                                                     A                   D 
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down

                                                           A                            D 
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast
       G                                              D   
The first shell hit the Bismark they knew she couldn't last

That mighty German battleship is just a memory
                                                                A                       D 
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry that shook the seven seas

                                                             A                   D     
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
                                                             A                          D  
We had to sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
     G                                               D  
We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
                                                                  A                       D 
Yeah we found that mighty Bismark and then we cut her down

Repeat last verse
