Titanic

             G

Oh they built the ship Titanic

    C                   G

to sail the ocean blue

               G                                                 D

And they thought they had a ship that the water’d never go through

G                     G7

But the Lord’s almighty hand

             C                         A7

said the ship would never land

          G                    D                                  G

It was sad when the great ship went down. (Hit the bottom!)

 

CHORUS:

          C                             G

It was sad (so sad). It was sad (too bad).

                                                          D

It was sad when the great ship went down

                                 G        G7     C     A7

To the bottom of the sea (husbands and wives little children lost their lives)

          G                   D                      G

It was sad when the great ship went down.

 

Oh they sailed from mighty England

And they were not far from shore

When the rich refused to associate with the poor

So they put ‘em down below

where they were the first to go

It was sad when the great ship went down.

 

Oh the ship was full of sand

And the sides were about to burst

When the Captain shouted “Women and children first.”

Oh the Captain tried to wire

but the wires were all on fire

It was sad when the great ship went down.

 

Oh they swung the lifeboats out

On the dark and stormy sea

When the band struck out with “Nearer my God to thee”

Little children wept and cried

as the waves swept o’er the side

It was sad when the great ship went down.

 

Oh they built another ship

Called the SS-92

And they thought they had a ship that the water’d never go through.

But they christened it with beer

and it fell right off the pier

It was sad when the great ship went down.
