The Titanic Chords & Lyrics - Pete Seeger

[VERSE 1]

[C]It was on one Monday morning [F]just about one o'clock
[C]When that great Titanic [G]began to reel and rock
[C]People began to scream and cry,
Saying "[F]Lord, am I going to die?"
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down

[CHORUS]

It was [F]sad,it was [C]sad,
It was sad when that great ship went [G]down,
[C]Husbands and wives and little [F]children lost their lives,
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.

[VERSE 2]

[C]While they were building [F]they said what they would do,
[C]We will build a ship that [G]water can't go through;
But [C]God with power in hand,
Showed the [F]world that it could not stand.
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.

[CHORUS]

It was [F]sad,it was [C]sad,
It was sad when that great ship went [G]down,
[C]Husbands and wives and little [F]children lost their lives,
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.

[VERSE 3]

[C]When that ship left England [F]it was making for the shore,
[C]The rich had declared that they would [G]not ride with the poor,
So they [C]put the poor below,
They [F]were the first to go.
It was [C]sad when that[G] great ship went[C] down.

[CHORUS]

It was [F]sad,it was [C]sad,
It was sad when that great ship went [G]down,
[C]Husbands and wives and little [F]children lost their lives,
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.

[VERSE 4]

[C]Those people on that ship were a [F]long way from home,
[C]With friends all around they didn't [G]know that time had come;
[C]Death came riding by,
Sixteen [F]hundred had to die.
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.

[CHORUS]

It was [F]sad,it was [C]sad,
It was sad when that great ship went [G]down,
[C]Husbands and wives and little [F]children lost their lives,
It was [C]sad when that [G]great ship went [C]down.
