Sink The Bismark

Johnny Horton
 DAD
In  May of nine-teen for-ty one the  war had just be- gun

 GD
The  Ger-mans had the big-gest ships that  had the big-gest guns
 D
 The Bis-marck was the fast-est ship that ever sail-ed the seas
 AD
On her decks were guns as big as steers and  shells as big as  trees.
Out of the cold and fog-gy night came the Brit-ish ship The Hood
And ever' British sea-man he knew and un-der-stood
They had to sink the Bis-marck the ter-ror of the seas
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees.
CHORUS #1
 DAD
  We'll find that Ger-man bat-tle-ship that's  mak'in' such a  fuss
 AD
We got-ta sink the Bis-marck 'cause the  world de-pends on  us
 GD
 Hit the deck a-run-nin' boys and  spin those guns a-round
 AD
When we find the Bis-marck we  got-ta cut 'er  down.
The Hood found the Bis-marck and on that fa-tal day
The Bis-marck start-ed fir-in' fif-teen miles a-way
We got-ta sink the Bis-marck was the bat-tle sound
But when the smoke had clear-ed a-way the might-y Hood went down.
For six long days and wear-y nights they tried to find her trail
Church-hill told peo-ple put ever' ship a-sail
'Cause some-where on that o-cean I know she's got-ta be
We got-ta sink the Bis-marck to the bot-tom of the sea.
CHORUS #1
The fog was gone the sev-enth day an' they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours a-way from home-land the Bis-marck made it's run
The Ad-miral of the Brit-ish fleet said turn those bows a-round
We found that Ger-man Bat-tle-ship and we gon-na cut 'er down.
The Brit-ish guns were aimed and the shells were com-in' fast
The first shell hit the Bis-marck they knew she could-n't last
That might-y Ger-man bat-tle-ship is just a mem-o-ry
Sink the Bis-marck was the bat-tle cry that shook the sev-en seas.
CHORUS #2
We found that Ger-man bat-tle-ship for mak'in' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bis-marck 'cause the world de-pends on us
We hit the deck a-run-nin' and we spun those guns a-round
Yea! we found that might-y Bis-marck and we had to cut 'er down.
CHORUS #2 (Last line)
Yea! we found that might-y Bis-marck and then we cut 'er down.
