1  Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue,
            G                  G             D7                 D7
   And they thought they had a ship that the sea would not leak through.
           G               G7            C                Cm
   But the lord's almighty hand knew the ship would never land.
              G             D7              G     G
       It was sad when that great ship went down.

Chorus---     C       C            G        G
   Oh, it was sad, so sad.  It was sad, too bad,
          G             G               D7          D7
   It was sad when that great ship went down to the bottom of the....
   G            G7                C                   Cm
   Husbands and wives, itty-bitty children lost their lives,
              G             D7              G     G
       It was sad when that great ship went down.

2  Oh, they sailed from England, and were almost to the shore,
   When the rich refused to associate with the poor,
   So they put them down below, where they were the first to go.
       It was sad when that great ship went down.        (chorus)

3  It was on a Monday morning just about at one o'clock,
   When that great Ti-tanic began to reel and rock.
   Folks began to scream and cry, sayin' "Am I gonna die?"
       It was sad when that great ship went down.        (chorus)

4  The boat was full of sin, and the sides about to burst,
   When the captain shouted, "Women and children first!"
   They all were homeward bound, sixteen hundred had to drown.
       It was sad when that great ship went down.        (chorus)

5  Then they swung the lifeboats out on the deep and raging sea,
   And the people started singin' "Nearer My God to Thee."
   Little children wept and cried, and the waves swept o'er the side.
       It was sad when that great ship went down.        (chorus)
