The Ballad Of The Titanic by Kevin Molloy
The Ballad Of The Titanic
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G C G
Come gather round me people and my story I will tell
C G A D
Of a ship that sailed from Belfast in the year of 1912
G C G
Acclaimed to be the greatest boat that ever was to be
C G D G
The greatest ocean liner that would ever sail the sea
[Verse 2]
G C G
The people that set sail on her for far Americay
C G A D
Were working class and peasant folk and gentry of the day
G C G
But nont foreseen the tragedy that was to lie ahead
C G D G
As tru the still dark waters the Titanic onward sped
[Chorus]
G C G
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
C G A D
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
G C G
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the watery waves
C G D G
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
[Verse 3]
G C G
She sailed her way from Queenstown on the southwest coast of Cork
C G A D
To make her maiden voyage to the city of New York
G C G
But off the coast of Newfoundland as tru the sea she plied
C G D G
An Iceberg tore three hundred foot of plating from her side
[Chorus]
G C G
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
C G A D
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
G C G
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the watery waves
C G D G
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
[Verse 4]
G C G
Yes 5 nights out of Queenstown on that starry moonless night
C G A D
She met her fatal rendez-vous that fateful sunday night
G C G
For underneath the water line there lay in deadly wait
C G D G
A mountain of an iceberg that would seal her awful fate
[Chorus]
G C G
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
C G A D
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
G C G
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the watery waves
C G D G
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
