🎸 Verse 1:
N.C.     E
Oh, they built the great Titanic
   A
To sail the ocean blue
         E
And they thought they'd built her strong

So no water could get through

But the Lord's almighty hand

Said this ship would never land

So the people came aboard
       A
To set sail from England's shore
    E
The upper decks were for the rich
     B7
Kept separate from the poor
        E
And the poor were sent below
             A
Where they'd be the first to go

N.C.  E
One o'clock on Monday morn
   A
An iceberg did its worst
    E
And Captain Edward Smith cried out
 B7
"Women and children first"
       E
And he tried in vain to wire
           A
And though every flare was fired
       E              B7               E
It was sad when that great ship went down


🎸 Verse 4:
        E
So they swung the lifeboats out
         A
O'er the deep and frigid sea
        E
And the band played on until the last
 B7
"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
         E
When the waves came o'er the side
        A
Fifteen hundred had to die

It was sad when that great ship went down
E                           A
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
       E              B7               E
It was sad when that great ship went down

How they prayed as that great ship went down
            E                       A
"Nearer, My God, to Thee", fifteen hundred lost at sea
