Sink The Bismarck Tab par Johnny Horton

[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 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
 
[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

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
