Mist is in the trees
ch]Em[/ch
Stone sweats with the dew

The morning sunrise, red before the blue

Hanging at the mast, waiting for command

For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside

Never tested with the fury, with the beating yet to come

The fury yet to come
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]E5[/ch
In the gathering gloom
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]E5[/ch
The storm rising in the west

The coxswain stared

Into the plunging weather glass

The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch

But the ship is in their backbone

Every sinew, every inch

Her fragile outer cover her Achilles would become

An Achilles yet to come

Sailors of the sky,

A hardened breed

Loyal to the king and an airship creed
ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]E5[/ch
The engines drum
ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]E5[/ch
The telegraph sounds

Release the cords that bind us to the ground

Said the captain

Groundlings cheered in wonder

As she backed off from the mast
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch
Baptizing them her water from the ballast fore and aft
ch]Fmaj7[/ch
Now she slips into our past

Verse 10→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch
Fighting the wind as it rolls you
ch]C[/ch
Feeling the diesels that push you along
ch]Am[/ch
Watching the channel below you
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Lower and lower into the night
ch]Em[/ch
Lights are passing below you
ch]C[/ch
Northern France asleep in their beds

Storm is raging around you

A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her
ch]C[/ch
With his scythe cuts to the bone

Experienced men asleep in their graves

Rain is flooding into the hull

Lifting gas is draining away

ch]Am[/ch
"We're down lads" came the cry

Bow plunging from the sky
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch
Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The flares to guide her path, ignited at the last

The empire of the clouds
ch]Fmaj7[/ch
Just ashes in our past, just ashes at the last

Verse 13→ Phiên khúc
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch
Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch
On the ground where they built and the engines did run
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch
To the moon and the stars
ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch
Now what have we done?
ch]E5[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]D6/9[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch

Dreams live on

Dreams live on

Verse 14→ Phiên khúc
ch]Em[/ch
Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east
ch]Dsus2[/ch] [ch]Csus2[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
The empire of the clouds may rest in peace
ch]Em[/ch
And in a country churchyard laid head to the mast
ch]Dsus2[/ch] [ch]Csus2[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Eight and forty souls who came to die in France
