D5                              A5                D5
In May of nineteen forty one, the war had just be- gun
    G5                                  D5
The Germans had the biggest ships that had the biggest guns
D5
 The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas
D5                                            A5                D5
 On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees


D5                                A5                         D5
 Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
    G5                        D5
And every British seaman, he knew and understood
D5
 They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the seas
D5                                     A5                D5
 Stop those guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees

Chorus
D5                                         A5             D5
 We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
D5                                      A5                D5
 We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
G5                                D5
 Hit the deck a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
D5                              A5             D5
 When we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut 'er down


D5                                A5             D5
 The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
G5                            D5
 The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away
D5          
 We gotta sink the Bismarck, was the battle sound
D5                                         A5                D5
 But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down


D5                                   A5                      D5
 For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
G5                               D5
 Churchill told the people, put every ship a-sail
D5
 Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
D5                                  A5             D5
 We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea


D5                                          A5              D5
 The fog was gone the seventh day an' they saw the mornin sun
G5                                  D5
 Ten hours away from homeland, the Bismarck made it's run
D5   
 The Admiral of the British fleet said turns those bows around
D5                                           A5             D5
 We found that German battleship, and we're gonna cut 'er down


D5                                    A5                  D5
 The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast
G5                                       D5
 The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last
D5
 That mighty German battleship is just a memory
D5                                          A5               D5
 Sink the Bismarck was the battlecry, that shook the seven seas

Chorus
D5                                       A5             D5
 We found that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
D5                                       A5                D5
 We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
G5                                 D5
 We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
D5                                          A5               D5
 Yeah we found that mighty Bismarck and we had to  cut 'er down
D5                                          A5                D5
 Yeah we found that mighty Bismarck and we then we  cut 'er down
