Sink The Bismarck
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
[Verse 1]
D A7 D
In May of 1941 the war had just begun
G D
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
A7 D
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
A7 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
A7 D
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
[Chorus]
A7 D
We'll find the German battleship that's making such a fuss
A7 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
A7 D
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
[Verse 2]
A7 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
A7 D
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down
A7 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
A7 D
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea
[Chorus]
A7 D
We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
A7 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
A7 D
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
[Verse 3]
A7 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
D
The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around
A7 D
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down
A7 D
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast
G D
The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
A7 D
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
[Chorus]
A7 D
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
A7 D
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
G D
We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
A7 D
Yeah, we found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
A7 D
We found that German battleship for makin' such a fuss
A7 D
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
G D
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
A7 D
Yeah, we found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
