TITANIC
Recorded by Roy Acuff
Arranged by: Roy Acuff

[A] It was on one Monday morning a-[D] bout one o'-[A] clock
When that great Titanic be-[B7] gan to reel and [E7] rock
People be-[A] gan to scream and cry
Saying, oh! [D] Lord, were bound to [A] die
It was sad when that [E7] great ship went [A] down.

It was [D] sad when that great ship went [A] down
It was sad when that great ship went [E7] down
[A] husbands and their wives,
Little [D] children lost their [A] lives
It was sad when that [E7] great ship went [A] down.

When bulding that great ship, they said what they would do
They said that they could builld a ship that water could not go thru
God with power in his hand, showed the world it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down.

When that great ship left England, she was making for the shores
When the rich declared, they would not ride with the poor
So they put the poor below and they were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down.
