Verse 1
[A]
Come on children have you heard
[C#7]
of that great airship, the Hindenburg
[D] [A]
It carried folks of wealth and fame
[B7] [E7]
But it crashed in Jersey in a ball of flame
[A]
'Twas on a sunny afternoon
[C#7]
Folks were drinking tea with a pleasant view
[D] [A]
You could heard them talk and laugh
[B7] [E7]
'Neath that giant ball of explosive gas
Chorus
[A]
And oooh the wind it beat
[A7] [B7]
a tune upon that great balloon
[E7]
The captain's lost control,
[B7] [E7]
he says we're all doomed
[E7] [A] [E7]
On the Hindenburg
Verse 2
[A]
Lines were tethered to the ground
[C#7]
For to bring that airship down
[D] [A]
But something caught and something sparked
[B7] [E7]
And the children cried and the dogs barked
[A]
Folks below stood and held their breath
[C#7]
as their friends above plummeted to their deaths
[D] [A]
The women wept and the men did curse.
[B7] [E7]
I've never seen the sun so close to earth.
Chorus
[A]
And oooh the wind it beat
[A7] [B7]
a tune upon that great balloon

The captain's lost control,
[B7] [E7]
he says we're all doomed

An end to these Hindenburgs
[B7] [E7]
For the lives it cost and the men it burned

And oooh the wind it beat
[A7] [B7]
a tune upon that great balloon
[E7]
The captain's lost control,
[B7] [E7]
