Pete Seeger – The Titanic (Guitar)

C                            F
It was on one Monday morning just about one o'clock

C                       G
When that great Titanic began to reel and rock

C
People began to scream and cry,

        F
Saying "Lord, am I going to die?"

       C             G               C
It was sad when that great ship went down

       F          C
It was sad,it was sad,

                                     G
It was sad when that great ship went down,

C                             F
Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,

       C             G               C
It was sad when that great ship went down.

C                        F
While they were building they said what they would do,

C                         G
We will build a ship that water can't go through;

    C
But God with power in hand,

           F
Showed the world that it could not stand.

       C             G               C
It was sad when that great ship went down.

       F          C
It was sad,it was sad,

                                     G
It was sad when that great ship went down,

Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,

       C             G               C
It was sad when that great ship went down.

C                           F
When that ship left England it was making for the shore,

C                                     G
The rich had declared that they would not ride with the poor,

        C
So they put the poor below,

     F
They were the first to go.

       C             G               C
It was sad when  that great ship went down.

       F          C
It was sad,it was sad,

                                     G

Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,

       C             G               C
It was sad when that great ship went down.

C                                F
Those people on that ship were a long way from home,

C                                   G
With friends all around they didn't know that time had come;

C
Death came riding by,

        F
Sixteen hundred had to die.
