Johnny Horton - Sink The Bismark guitar chord

SINK THE BISMARCK

Johnny Horton

Capo on first fret.

In (D) May of nine-teen for-ty one the (A) war had just be-(D) gun

The (G) Ger-mans had the big-gest ships that (D) had the big-gest guns

(D)

The Bis-marck was the fast-est ship that ever sail-ed the seas

On her decks were guns as big as steers and (A) shells as big as (D) 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

(D) We'll find that Ger-man bat-tle-ship that's (A) mak'in' such a (D) fuss

We got-ta sink the Bis-marck 'cause the (A) world de-pends on (D) us

(G)Hit the deck a-run-nin' boys and (D) spin those guns a-round

When we find the Bis-marck we (A) got-ta cut 'er (D) 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.
