Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
A E7

Verse 1:
A
Come on children have you heard
        C#7
of that great airship, the Hindenburg
   D                A
It carried folks of wealth and fame
       B7                     E7
But it crashed in Jersey in a ball of flame
      A
'Twas on a sunny afternoon
           C#7
Folks were drinking tea with a pleasant view
D                    A
You could heard them talk and laugh
            B7              E7
'Neath that giant ball of explosive gas

Chorus:
    A
And oooh the wind it beat
  A7                      B7
a tune upon that great balloon
              E7
The captain's lost control,
B7                E7
he says we're all doomed
       E7         A E7
On the Hindenburg

Verse 2:
A
Lines were tethered to the ground
C#7
For to bring that airship down
    D                    A
But something caught and something sparked
        B7                     E7
And the children cried and the dogs barked
A
Folks below stood and held their breath
         C#7
as their friends above plummeted to their deaths
    D                  A
The women wept and the men did curse.
           B7             E7
I've never seen the sun so close to earth.

Chorus:
    A
And oooh the wind it beat
  A7                      B7
a tune upon that great balloon
              E7
The captain's lost control,
B7                E7
he says we're all doomed
       E7         A E7
On the Hindenburg

Kazoo solo:
A C#7 D A B7 E7

Verse 3:
        A
And the people cried, "From this day forth
            C#7
we're gonna keep our feet firm upon the earth"
   D            A
An end to these Hindenburgs
        B7                    E7
For the lives it cost and the men it burned

Chorus:
    A
And oooh the wind it beat
  A7                      B7
a tune upon that great balloon
              E7
The captain's lost control,
B7                E7
he says we're all doomed
    A
And oooh the wind it beat
  A7                      B7
a tune upon that great balloon
              E7
The captain's lost control,
B7                E7
he says we're all doomed
       E7         A
On the Hindenburg
