Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G
It happened on a Summer's day in nineteen fifty-four,
N.C.
We went to greet Her Majesty a-comin' from the Tour.
[Chorus]
G C G
On a British submarine, on a British submarine,
Am Em G
When sixty solid sailors went cheering of the Queen.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Their Lordships said "Now cheer, me boys, but mind you make it smart,
N.C.
There's nothing looks so ragged as the cheering from your heart."
[Chorus]
G C G
On a British submarine, on a British submarine,
Am Em G
When sixty solid sailors went cheering of the Queen.
[Verse 3]
G C G
Well, when we saw the signal boys, it made our innards freeze
N.C.
"On the order 'one' you hold your hats at forty-five degrees."
[Chorus]
G C G
On a British submarine, on a British submarine,
Am Em G
When sixty solid sailors went cheering of the Queen.
[Verse 4]
G C G
"Yes, at forty-five degrees", me boys, that's what their lordships said,
N.C.
"On the order 'two' you wave your hats three times around your head."
[Chorus]
