sink the bismarck Johnny Horton
SINK THE BISMARCK Johnny Horton
In [D] May of 1941 [A] the war had just be[D]gun
The [G] Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest [D]guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and [A]shells as big as [D]trees
Out of the cold and foggy night came the [A] British ship the [D]Hood
And [G]every British seaman he [D]knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those [A]shells as big as [D]trees
Chorus
We'll find the German battleship that's [A]makin' such a [D]fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the [A]world depends on [D]us
Yeah [G]hit the decks a running' boys and [D]spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we [A]gotta cut her [D]down
(one beat each) D A D G D A D
The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put every ship a sail
Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea
Chorus...
(one beat each) D A D G D A D
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run
The Admiral of the British feet said turn those boughs around
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast
The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
Chorus
We found the German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a runnin' and we spun those guns around
Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
Repeat Chorus
(one beat each) D A D G D A D
