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

       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

               D      A7         D

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 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
