Verse 2
(A minor) Royalty and dignitaries, (G major) brandy and cigars
Grey (E minor) lady giant of the skies,
you (F major) hold them in your arms
The (A minor) millionth chance they laughed,
to take (G major) down his majesty's craft
(E minor) To India they say, magic (F major) carpet float away,

Verse 3
(E minor) Mist is in the trees,
stone sweats with the dew
The morning sun (D major) rise,
(C major) red before the (E minor) blue
Hanging at the mast, waiting for command
His majesty's (D major) airship, the (C major) (E minor) R101
Verse 4
She's the (A minor) biggest vessel built by man,
a giant (G major) of the skies
For (E minor) all you unbelievers,
the Titanic (F major) fits inside
Drum (A minor) rolled tight, her canvas skin,
(G major) silvered in the sun
Never (E minor) tested with the fury,
with a (F major) beating yet to come
Verse 5
The fury (F major) yet to come
In the (E minor) gathering
Verse 6
gloom,
a storm rising in the west
The coxswain stared in (D major) to
the plunging (C major) weather glass (E minor)
We must go now,
we must take our chance with fate
We must go now,
for a (D major) politician he (C major) can't be late (E minor)
The (A minor) airship crew awake for thirty
(G major) hours at full stretch
But the ship (E minor) is in their backbone,
every sinew, (F major) every inch
She nev (A minor) er flew at full speed,
a (G major) trial never done
Her (E minor) fragile outer cover,
her Achilles (F major) would become
Verse 7
An Achilles (F major) yet to come
Verse 8
Sailors of the (E minor) sky, a hardened breed
Loyal to (D major) the king,
and an (C major) airship creed (E minor)
Verse 9
The engines (E minor) drum,
the telegraph sounds
Release the cords (D major) that bind (C major)
us to the (E minor) ground
Said the (A minor) coxswain, sir, she's heavy,
she'll (G major) never make this flight
Said the (E minor) captain, damn the cargo,
we'll be (F major) on our way tonight
(A minor) Groundlings cheered in wonder,
as she (G major) backed up from the mast
Bap (E minor) tizing them her water,
from the (F major) ballast fore and aft
Verse 10
Now she (F major) slips into our past

Fighting (E minor) the wind as it rolls you
(C major) Feeling the diesels that push
you along (A minor)
Watching the channel below you
(C major) Lower and lower, (D major) into the night
Verse 12
(E minor) Lights are passing below you
(C major) Northern France, asleep in their beds
(A minor) Storm is raging around you
A (C major) million to one, (D major) that's what he said (E minor)

Verse 15
down lads, came a cry,
bow (G major) plunging from the sky
Three (E minor) thousand horses silent
as the ship (F major) began to die
The (A minor) flares to guide her path
ig (G major) nited at the last

just (F major) ashes in our past
Just ashes at the last (E minor)
