G+G D MajorD G+G

            D MajorD
On a clear April day, 1963
     C majorC                G+G
I took a memorable ride on a silver submarine
           D MajorD
100+ men, John Wesley Harvey and me
   C majorC         G+G
All aboard the SSN ? 593

   E minorEm     G+G
Goin down, goin down
   D MajorD       G+G
Goin down down down down

             D MajorD
Harvey to base, we?re at 1,000 feet
    C majorC                         G+G
Jimmy?s doin real good I think he?s getting ahold of this thing
                  D MajorD
Then the rattle of pipes, then the hiss of the steam
     C majorC                      G+G
I was the man of the hour till the alarm bells started ringing

   E minorEm     G+G
Goin down, goin down
   D MajorD       G+G
Goin down down down down

  E minorEm             G+G
Oh Thresher, we can?t take no more
     D MajorD                E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor

G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G

          D MajorD
Wonder and fear, unending black sea
   C majorC               G+G
Held everyone?s gaze in quiet humility
              D MajorD
Mother ocean we are at the mercy of thee
   C majorC                   G+G
Like children in uniform balancing on your knee

   E minorEm     G+G
Goin down, goin down
   D MajorD       G+G
Goin down down down down

  E minorEm             G+G
Oh Thresher, we can?t take no more
     D MajorD                G+G
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor

  E minorEm             G+G
Oh Thresher, we can?t take no more
     D MajorD                E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA G+G
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
