A 
D 
In May of 1941,
A 
D 
the war had just begun.
G 
The Germans had the biggest ship
D 
that had the biggest guns.
The Bismarck
was the fastest ship
that ever sailed the sea.
On her decks were guns
A 
as big as stairs
D 
and shells as big as trees.
Out of the cold and foggy night
A 
D 
came the British ship, the Hood
G 
And every British seaman,
D 
he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck,
the terror of the sea
Stop those guns, his biggest steers,
A 
and those shells, his biggest trees
D 
Define that German battleship
A 
D 
that's making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck,
A 
D 
cause the world depends on us
G 
He hit the decks a -runnin', boys,
D 
and spin those guns around
But when we find the Bismarck,
A 
D 
A 
we gotta cut her down
D 
The Hood found the Bismarck,
A 
and on that fatal day
D 
G 
The Bismarck started firing,
D 
fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismarck,
was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away,
A 
D 
the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights,
A 
D 
they tried to find her trail
G 
Churchill told the people,
D 
put every ship asail
Cause somewhere on that ocean,
I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck
A 
D 
to the bottom of the sea
They find that German battleship
A 
D 
that's making such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck
A 
D 
cause the world depends on us
G 
They hit the decks of running boys
D 
and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck,
A 
D 
A 
we gotta cut her down
D 
The fog was gone the seventh day
A 
D 
and they saw the morning sun
G 
Ten hours away from homeland,
D 
the Bismarck made its run
The admiral of the British fleet said,
turn those bows around
We found that German battleship
A 
D 
and we're gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed
A 
and the shells were coming fast
D 
G 
The first shell hit the Bismarck,
D 
they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship
is just a memory
Sink the Bismarck
was the battle cry
A 
D 
that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship
A 
D 
was making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck,
A 
D 
cause the world depends on us
G 
We hit the deck of running
D 
and we spun those guns around,
yeah
We found that mighty Bismarck
A 
D 
and we cut the gutter down
We found that German battleship
for making such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck,
A 
D 
or else the world, it ends on us
G 
We hit the deck a -runnin'
D 
and we spun those guns around
We found that mighty Bismarck
A 
D 
A 
D 
A 
D 
and then we cut her down
