Sink the Bismarck

Verse:

4   4  4    4   4    4  -4  5
In May of nine-teen for-ty-one 

 4  -4  -4   4   -3  4
The war had just be-gun

 6  -6   -6  -6   6  -5   -5   -6
The Ger-mans had the big-gest ship

 -6   6   6   5   -5   6
That had the big-gest guns

 6   6    6   -6   5   -5   5   6
The Bis-marck was the fast-est ship

  5  4  4    4     5   6
That e-ver sailed the seas

-2 -2   4    4    4   4   4  -4   5
On her deck were guns as big as steers

 4    -4   -4  4  -3   4
And shells as big as trees

 4  4   4   4    4   4  -4   5
Out of the cold and fog-gy night

  4   4  -4   -4   4   -3   4
Came the Bri-tish ship the Hood

 6  -6  -6  -6  6    -5 -5
And ev'-ry Bri-tish sea-man 

-6  6    6  5  -5    6
He knew and un-der-stood

 6    6  6   -6  -5   5    6
They had to sink the Bis-marck

 5   4   4  4   5   6
The ter-ror of the sea

 -2   -2    4   4   4  -4   5
Stop those guns as big as steers

-4    4     -4   -4  4  -3   4
And those shells as big as trees


Chorus:
  4    4    4    4   4   4  -4   5
We'll find that Ger-man bat-tle-ship

  4     -4 -4   4  -3  4
That's mak-in' such a fuss

4   4  4   4    4   4   -4
We got-ta sink the Bis-marck

   5    4   -4   -4   4   -3 4
'Cause the world de-pends on us

 6   -6  -6   -6   6 -5  -5    -5
They hit the decks a-run-nin' boys

-6   6     6    5  -5   6
And spin those guns a-round

 4   4   4    4   4    5
When we find the Bis-marck 

5  -4  -4  4  -3   4
We got-ta cut her down


The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day.
The Bismarck started firin' 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 ev'ry 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.

We'll find that German battleship,
That's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismarck,
'Cause the world depends on us.
They hit the decks a-runnin' boys,
And spin those guns around.
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down.

The fog was gone the seventh day,
And they saw the mornin' sun.
Ten hours away from homeland,
The Bismark made its run.
The Admiral of the British fleet said,
Turn those bows around.
We found that German battleship,
And we're gonna cut her down.
The British guns were aimed,
And the shells were comin' 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.

We found that German battleship,
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.
We found the mighty Bismarck,
And then we cut her down.

We found that German battleship,
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.
We found the mighty Bismarck,
And then we cut her down.
