[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Oh, the Thresher, the Ffinest aCtomic Amship
That ever dived for the GseaC  
Each man on board Bmwas a volunEmteer
Was Fthere 'cause he Emchose there to Dbe
[Chorus]
Every Fman-jack on board was a Chero
Every Fman-jack on board there was Cbrave
Every Fman-jack on Emboard was a Dmhero
Each Fman risked a Emwatery DgraveDm  
[Verse]
Oh, their wives and their Fsweethearts Ccame down to Amport
Their last fond goodbyes there to GsayC  
Each tried her best to be Bmtearless and EmbraveF  
They promised to Emmeet there some Dday
[Chorus]
Every Fman-jack on board was a Chero
Every Fman-jack on board there was Cbrave
Every Fman-jack on Emboard was a Dmhero
Each Fman risked a Emwatery DgraveDm  
[Verse]
Then "Dive" said the FCaptain, and Cwe held our Ambreath
A sound like she'd broken in GtwoC  
That was the last we Bmever heard of EmherF  
Last word we Emhad of her Dcrew
[Chorus]
Every Fman-jack on board was a Chero
Every Fman-jack on board there was Cbrave
Every Fman-jack on Emboard was a Dmhero
Each Fman risked a Emwatery DgraveDm  
[Verse]
Oh, the Thresher, yes, Fnow her reCactor is Amstill
But very good company she GkeepsC  
Men from the Lexington, BmHornet, and the EmWaspF  
Are down there Emwith her in the Ddeep
[Chorus]
Every Fman-jack on board was a Chero
Every Fman-jack on board there was Cbrave
Every Fman-jack on Emboard was a Dmhero
Each Fman risked a Emwatery DgraveDm
