G D G
D On a clear April day, 1963
C G I took a memorable ride on a silver submarine
D 100+ men, John Wesley Harvey and me
C G All aboard the SSN – 593
Em G Goin down, goin down
D G Goin down down down down
D Harvey to base, we’re at 1,000 feet
C G Jimmy’s doin real good I think he’s getting ahold of this thing
Continues after the ad
D Then the rattle of pipes, then the hiss of the steam
C G I was the man of the hour till the alarm bells started ringing
Em G Goin down, goin down
D G Goin down down down down
Em G Oh Thresher, we can’t take no more
D Em C A Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
G D C G
D Wonder and fear, unending black sea
C G Held everyone’s gaze in quiet humility
D Mother ocean we are at the mercy of thee
C G Like children in uniform balancing on your knee
Em G Goin down, goin down
D G Goin down down down down
Em G Oh Thresher, we can’t take no more
D G Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
Em G Oh Thresher, we can’t take no more
D Em C A G Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
