    Verse 1
    In 
    May 
    of 
    nineteen 
    forty-one 

    the 
    war 
    had 
    just 
    be
    gun 

    The 
    Germans 
    had 
    the 
    biggest 
    ship, 

    they 
    had 
    the 
    biggest 
    guns 

    The 
    Bismarck 
    was 
    the 
    fastest 
    ship 

    that 
    ever 
    sailed 
    the 
    sea 

    On 
    her 
    deck 
    were 
    guns 
    as 
    big 
    as 
    steers 

    and 
    shells 
    as 
    big 
    as 
    trees 

    Verse 2
    Out 
    of 
    the 
    cold 
    and 
    foggy 
    night 

    came 
    the 
    British 
    ship, 
    the 
    Hood 

    And 
    every 
    British 
    seaman, 

    he 
    knew 
    and 
    understood 

    They 
    had 
    to 
    sink 
    the 
    Bismarck, 

    the 
    terror 
    of 
    the 
    sea 

    Stop 
    those 
    guns 
    as 
    big 
    as 
    steers 

    and 
    those 
    shells 
    as 
    big 
    as 
    trees 

    Chorus 1
    We'll 
    find 
    the 
    German 
    battleship 

    that's 
    makin' 
    such 
    fuss 

    We 
    gotta 
    sink 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    cause 
    the 
    world 
    depends 
    on 
    us 

    Hit 
    the 
    decks 
    a-runnin' 
    boys 

    and 
    spin 
    those 
    guns 
    around 

    When 
    we 
    find 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    we 
    gotta 
    cut 
    her 
    down 


    Verse 3
    The 
    Hood 
    found 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    on 
    that 
    fatal 
    day 

    The 
    Bismarck 
    started 
    firin' 
    fifteen 
    miles 
    away 

    "We 
    gotta 
    sink 
    the 
    Bismarck" 

    was 
    the 
    battle 
    sound 

    But 
    when 
    the 
    smoke 
    had 
    cleared 
    away, 

    the 
    mighty 
    Hood 
    went 
    down 

    Verse 4
    For 
    six 
    long 
    days 
    and 
    weary 
    nights 

    they 
    tried 
    to 
    find 
    her 
    trail 

    Churchill 
    told 
    the 
    people 
    "put 
    every 
    ship 
    a-sail 

    'Cause 
    somewhere 
    on 
    that 
    ocean 

    know 
    she's 
    gotta 
    be 

    We 
    gotta 
    sink 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    to 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    the 
    sea" 

    Chorus 2
    We'll 
    find 
    the 
    German 
    battleship 

    that's 
    makin' 
    such 
    fuss 

    We 
    gotta 
    sink 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    cause 
    the 
    world 
    depends 
    on 
    us 

    Hit 
    the 
    decks 
    a-runnin' 
    boys 

    and 
    spin 
    those 
    guns 
    around 

    When 
    we 
    find 
    the 
    Bismarck 

    we 
    gotta 
    cut 
    her 
    down 


    Verse 5
    The 
    fog 
    was 
    gone 
    the 
    seventh 
    day 

    and 
    they 
    saw 
    the 
    mornin' 
    sun 

    Ten 
    hours 
    away 
    from 
    homeland 

    the 
    Bismarck 
    made 
    its 
    run 

    The 
    admiral 
    of 
    the 
    British 
    fleet 
    said 

    "turn 
    those 
    bows 
    around 

    We 
    found 
    that 
    German 
    battleship 

    and 
    we're 
    gonna 
    cut 
    her 
    down" 

    Verse 6
    The 
    British 
    guns 
    were 
    aimed 

    and 
    the 
    shells 
    were 
    comin' 
    fast 

    The 
    first 
    shell 
    hit 
    the 
    Bismarck, 

    they 
    knew 
    she 
    couldn't 
    last 

    That 
    mighty 
    German 
    battleship 

    is 
    just 
    memory 

    "Sink 
    the 
    Bismarck" 
    was 
    the 
    battle 

    cry 
    that 
    shook 
    the 
    seven 
    seas 

    Chorus 3
    We 
    found 
    the 
    German 
    battleship 

    been 
    makin' 
    such 
    fuss 

    We

    the 
    Bismarck 

    'cause 
    the 
    world 
    depends 
    on 
    us 

    We 
    hit 
    the 
    decks 
    a-runnin' 

    and 
    we 
    spun 
    those 
    guns 
    around 

    Yeah, 
    we 
    found 
    the 
    mighty

    to 
    cut 
    her

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
