[Verse 1]
      G        Am       D
She was born in Belfast city
 Em   Am        B
1912 it being the year
Em     Am         D
Irish pride was in the air
    Em      D            Em
Their hearts were full of cheer
   G           Am   D
The world stood in amazement

For they'd never seen before

Such a stately queen to rule the waves
   Em        D        Em
And sail from shore to shore

      G        Am       D
She was the grandest of them all
   Em        Am        B
Her lines were sleek and bold

She sparkled like the jewels bright
 Em   D     Em
A wonder to behold
   G       Am       D
The gentry sailed away in style
    Em        Am      D
Fine wines did freely flow
      Em      D        Bm
While the second class in steerage were
   Em        D        Em
All quartered down below

Well the captain said full speed ahead
     Em       Am        B
We'll show the world her might
   Em       Am         D
So keep the boilers stoked me boys

We'll race her through the night
   G           Am   D
We'll own the fastest record

[Verse 5]
   G        Am       D
On the 14th night of April
   Em        Am        B
When the ship was far from land
   Em     Am         D
Dreams were torn asunder
    Em      D            Em
As cruel fate brought down her hand
   G           Am   D
Titanic struck an iceberg
         Em     Am      D
And she slipped beneath the waves
      Em      D        Bm
And fifteen hundred and seventeen souls
   Em        D        Em
went to their watery graves

[Verse 6]
      G        Am       D
A hundred years have come and gone
   Em        Am        B
and still we know her name
   Em       Am         D
When a voyage bound for glory
    Em      D         Em
Turned to tragedy and shame
   G           Am   D
It's a night to be remembered
  Em     Am      D
For man's own frailty
      Em      D        Bm
When the mighty ship Titanic sank
   Em        D        Em
To the bottom of the sea


[Chorus]
    G          D
