A Night To Remember Lyrics

Strophe:

d C a B

She left Southampton that April morn4 in 1912

d C a B 

With more than 2000 men on board on her maiden voyage to
hell.

F C g d

The largest ship the world ever had seen, an excess
of luxury.

F C B A

The unsinkable queen of the White Star Line, a
place as safe as can be.



She crossed the rough Atlantic when on
sunday approached Cape Race,

Where lots of ships the whole day long
signalled Beware of the ice!

But Captain Smith he didn4t care, the
warnings went unheard.

No gaelforce wind, no heavy swell, no ice would
make him turn.



Refrain:

d a d a 

She was a queen and a
virgin bride, a gorgeous precious maid.

C G B C d

And the peaceful
sun lay over the shelves on that glorious April day.

d a d a 

She
was a queen and a virgin bride when she fought the ocean brave,

C G B C
d

Until the ice cut deep in her soul and she sank to her watery grave.



Strophe:

`Twas just before the midnight hour when passengers
noticed a jerk.

A wave or a whale they clueless thought, but an iceberg
the ship badly hurt.

The whole side was cut 4neath the waterline and torn
apart like a tin.

The unsinkable queen tilted up to the left, and water
filled her up to the brim.



For passengers and crew aboard the
death throes now begun.

There were only lifeboats for half of them, the
others all had to drown.

Ten miles away the Californian lay, so close to
prevent the worst,

But her crew lay asleep in the cabines there - not far
away the bulkheads burst!



Refrain:

Zwischenstophe:

2.20 a.m. that misty morn4 in 1912,

g d

The gleaming gem of
the White Star Line sank down in her seabed to dwell.

B C

4Bout 1500
lost their lives and rest in icy graves,
