[Intro 1]
[D][A]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
In May of nineteen
forty-one the the [A]war had just be[D]gun
The [G]Germans had the biggest ship,
they [D]had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest
ship that ever sailed the sea
On her deck were guns as big as steers
and [A]shells as big as [D]trees

[Verse 2]
Out of the cold and foggy night came [A]the
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

[Verse 3]
We'll find the German [D]battleship
that's [A]makin' such a [D]fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause
the [A]world depends [D]on us
[G]Hit the decks a-runnin' boys boys
and [D]spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we [A]gotta
cut her down
[D][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
The Hood found the Bismarck
[A]on that fatal [D]day
The [G]Bismarck started firin'
[D]fifteen miles away
"We gotta sink the Bismarck"
was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away,
the [A]mighty Hood went [D]down

[Verse 5]
For six long days [D]and weary nights
they [A]tried to find her [D]trail
[G]Churchill told the people "put
[D]every ship a-sail
'Cause 'Cause somewhere on that
ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the
[A]bottom of the [D]sea"

[Verse 6]
We'll find that German battleship
that's [A]makin' such a [D]fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause
the [A]world depends [D]on us
[G]Hit the decks a-runnin' boys boys
and [D]spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we
[A]gotta cut her [D]down[A][D]

[Verse 7]
The fog was gone [D]the seventh day and
they [A]saw the mornin' [D]sun
Ten [G]hours away from homeland the
[D]Bismarck made its run
The admiral of the British fleet said
"turn those bows around
We found that German battleship and we're
[A]gonna [D]cut her down"

[Verse 8]
The British guns [D]were aimed and the
[A]shells were comin' [D]fast
The [G]first shell hit the Bismarck,
they [D]knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship
is just a memory
"Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry
that [A]shook the seven [D]seas

[Verse 9]
We found that German battleship
been [A]makin' such a [D]fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause
the [A]world depends [D]on us
[G]We hit the deck a-runnin' and and we
[D]spun those guns around
Yeah, we found the mighty Bismarck and
pre[A]pared to cut her [D]down

[Verse 10]
We found that German [D]battleship
been makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause
the [A]world depends [D]on us
We [G]hit the deck a-runnin' and and we
[D]spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismarck and
[A]then we cut her [D]down[A][D][A][D]
