[Verse 1]
D A7 D In May of 1941 the war had just begun G D The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
A7 D On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees A7 D Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood G D And every British seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea
A7 D Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
[Chorus]
A7 D We'll find the German battleship that's making such a fuss A7 D We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us G D Yeah, hit the decks a running boys and spin those guns around A7 D When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
[Verse 2]
A7 D The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day G D The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound
A7 D But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down A7 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
Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
A7 D We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea
[Chorus]
A7 D We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss A7 D We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us G D Yeah, hit the decks a running boys and spin those guns around A7 D When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
[Verse 3]
A7 D The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun G D Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run D The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around A7 D We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down A7 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
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
A7 D Sink the Bismark was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
[Chorus]
A7 D We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss A7 D We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us G D We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around A7 D Yeah, we found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down A7 D We found that German battleship for makin' such a fuss A7 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 A7 D Yeah, we found that mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
