Intro: D A7 D Verse 1: D G D It was 113 years ago when the wings of death came low D E7 A And spread out on the ocean far and wide D G D A great ship sailed away with her passengers so gay D A7 D To never, never reach the other side Chorus: G D Sailing out to win her fame, the Titanic was her name D E7 A When she had sailed 500 miles from shore D G D Many passengers and her crew went down with that old canoe D A7 D They all went down to never rise again
Verse 2: D G D This great ship was built by man, that is why she could not stand D E7 A "She could not sink" was the cry from one and all D G D But an iceberg ripped her side and it cut down all her pride D A7 D They found the hand of God was in it all Chorus: G D Sailing out to win her fame, the Titanic was her name D E7 A When she had sailed 500 miles from shore D G D Many passengers and her crew went down with that old canoe D A7 D They all went down to never rise again Verse 3: D G D Your Titanic sails today, on life's sea you're far away D E7 A But Jesus Christ can take you safely through D G D Just obey his great command, over there you'll safely land D A7 D You'll never go down with that old canoe Chorus: G D Sailing out to win her fame, the Titanic was her name D E7 A When she had sailed 500 miles from shore D G D Many passengers and her crew went down with that old canoe D A7 D They all went down to never rise again Verse 4: D G D When you think that you are wise, then you need not be surprised D E7 A That the hand of God should stop you on life's sea D G D If you go on in your sin, you will find out in the end D A7 D That you are just as foolish as can be. Chorus: G D Sailing out to win her fame, the Titanic was her name D E7 A When she had sailed 500 miles from shore D G D Many passengers and her crew went down with that old canoe D A7 D They all went down to never rise again
