[Eb] In May of [Bb] 1941, the war had just [Eb] begun.
[Ab] The Germans had the biggest [Eb] ship that had the biggest guns.
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea.
On her decks were guns with biggest [Bb] steers and sails as big [Eb] as trees.
Out of the cold and foggy [Bb] night came the British [Eb] ship, the Hood.
[Ab] And every British seaman [Eb] he knew and understood.
They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea.
Top those guns as big as steers [Bb] and those shells [Eb] as big as trees.
You find that German battleship that's making such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismarck or else the world depends on us.
[Ab] In the decks are running bores, [Eb] just spin those guns around.
But when we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut her down.
The Hood found the Bismarck [Bb] and on [Eb] that fatal day.
[Ab] The Bismarck started firing [Eb] 15 miles away.
We gotta sink the Bismarck, was the battle sound.
But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down.
For six long days and weary nights, they tried to find her trail.
[Ab] Churchill told the people, [Eb] put every ship asail.
For somewhere on that ocean, I know she's gotta be.
We gotta sink the Bismarck [Bb] to the bottom [Eb] of the sea.
They find that German battleship that's making such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismarck or else the world depends on us.
[Ab] In the decks are running bores, [Eb] just spin those guns around.
When we find the Bismarck, we gotta cut her down.

The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun.
[Ab] Ten hours away from [Eb] homeland, the Bismarck made its run.
The Admiral of the British fleet said, turn those mouths around.
He found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down.
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast.
[Ab]
The first shell hit the Bismarck, [Eb] they knew she couldn't last.
That mighty German battleship is just a memory.
Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that [Bb] struck [Eb] the seven seas.
He found that German battleship that's making such a fuss.
We had to sink the Bismarck or else the world depends on us.
