C F It was on one Monday morning just about one o'clockC G When that great Titanic began to reel and rockC People began to scream and cry,F Saying "Lord, am I going to die?"C G C It was sad when that great ship went down [Chorus]F C It was sad,it was sad,G It was sad when that great ship went down,C F Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Verse 2]C F While they were building they said what they would do,C G We will build a ship that water can't go through;C But God with power in hand,F Showed the world that it could not stand.C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Chorus]F C It was sad,it was sad,G It was sad when that great ship went down,C F Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Verse 3]C F When that ship left England it was making for the shore,C G The rich had declared that they would not ride with the poor,C So they put the poor below,F They were the first to go.C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Chorus]F C It was sad,it was sad,G It was sad when that great ship went down,C F Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Verse 4]C F Those people on that ship were a long way from home,C G With friends all around they didn't know that time had come;C Death came riding by,F Sixteen hundred had to die.C G C It was sad when that great ship went down. [Chorus]F C It was sad,it was sad,G It was sad when that great ship went down,C F Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives,C G C It was sad when that great ship went down.
