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


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

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


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


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


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


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

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