[Verse 1]
[D][A][D][A][G]
[D]When a ship is sinking
and they [A]lower the lifeboats
And [G]hand out the life jackets,
the [D]men keep on their coats
The women and the children are
the [A]ones who must go first
And the [G]men who try to save their
skins are [D]cowards and are cursed
[G]Every

[Verse 2]
man's a captain,
[D]men know how to drown
[A]Man the lifeboats if there's room,
[G]otherwise go [D]down
[A][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
And it's the same [A]when there's a war
on: it's the men who go to fight
Women [G]and children are civilians,
when [D]they're killed it's not right
Men kill men [A]in uni[D]form,
[A]its the way war goes
[G]When they run they're cowards,
when they [D]stay they are heroes

[Verse 4]
[G]Every man's a general,
[D]men go off to war
[A]The battlefields a man's world,
cannon [G]fodders what they're [D]for

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 5]
It's the men who have the [D]power,
it's the [A]men who have the might
And the [G]world's a place of horror because
[D]each man thinks he's right
A man's home is his castle so
the [A]family let him in
But what's [G]im portant in that kingdom
is the [D]women and the children
[G]A husband

[Verse 6]
and a father,
[D]every man's a king
But he's [A]really just a drone,
gathers no [G]honey, has no [D]sting
Have [G]pity on the general, the [D]king,
and the captain
[A]They know they're expendable,
[G]after all they're [D]men

[Outro 1]
[A][G]
[D]
