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
