| Am     | Am/G   | Fmaj7  | E/G#   | x2
 

       Am     Am/G
It was night, a starry moonless sight
Fmaj7                       E/G#
   Out in the mid Atlantic  there sailed a ship of light
        Am   Am/G
She was big,  this ship of luxury
Fmaj7                       E/G#
   Everything was peaceful, no safer place to be
 

        F                  D7
And she sailed through the night
       C          F    G
On her way
G G# Am             C    Am    G  F   G   Am
     Down among the dead men
Am/G Am        C    Am    G  F   G   Am
Down among the dead men
                 C  F  G  C     C   F   G  C
The band played
C G Am                  E/G#
   She sailed the virgin
C/G               D/F#
   She sailed the sea
F G  Am             C    Am    G  F   G   Am
 Down among the dead men
 

        Am     Am/G
Captain Smith, the master in command
Fmaj7                            E/G#
  A man with wealth of wisdom, a fine upstanding man
      Am     Am/G
But the fog. He didn't hear the calls
Fmaj7                           E/G#
The ice mountain was waiting for fifteen hundred souls
 

        F                  D7
And she sailed through the night
       C          F    G
On her way
G G# Am             C    Am    G  F   G   Am
   Down among the dead men
Am/G Am        C    Am    G  F   G   Am
Down among the dead men
               C  F  G  C     C  F  G  C    C  F  G  C    C  F  G  C. (instr)
The band played
C G Am           E/G#
    She sailed the virgin
C/G               D/F#
   She sailed the sea
F G  Am             C    Am    G  F   G   Am
     Down among the dead men
Am/G Am    C    Am    G  F      G      Am
Down among the dead men and into history
