The
[Dm] [Am] [A]
[Dm] steamer began to move slowly away, [D] but on the landward [E] horizon appeared the silhouette
of a fighting [Dm] ship.
Another came, and another, [Bb] striding [Am] over hills and trees, plunging far [D] out to sea and blocking
the [Dm] exit of the steamer.
Between them lay the silent, [A] grey ironclad [A] Thunderchild.
[Dm] Slowly it moved towards shore, then with a deafening roar and [A] whoosh of spray, [E] it swung
about and drove at full speed [Dm] towards the waiting marshal.
[D]
[Dm] There were ships [C] of shapes and sizes, [Dm] scattered out [C] along the bay, and I thought I heard her
[Em] calling, as the [Gm] steamer pulled [Dm] away.
The [A] invaders must have seen her, as [Dm] across the ghostly miles, standing [Bb] in between them,
[Am] there lay [Bb] Thunderchild.
[Dm] [Bb]
Moving [C] swiftly through the waters, [Dm] cannons blazing [C] as she came, brought [Dm] a mighty metal
[Em] warlord, [Gm] crashing down in [Dm] sheets of flame, sensing [Am] victory was nearing, thinking [Dm] fortune
must have smiled, people [Bb] started cheering, [A] come [Dm] on Thunderchild, [Bb] come [Dm] on [Bb]
Thunderchild.
[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb] The martians released their black smoke, but the ship sped on, cutting down one of the
tripod figures, [Dm] instantly [Bb] the others raised their heat rays, and melted [Dm] the [Bb] Thunderchild's valiant heart.

Dashing [C] ropes and smashing timbers, flashing heat rays pierced the deck, [Dm] dashing hopes
for our [Em] deliverance, as [Gm] we watched the [Dm] sinking wreck, with [A] the smoke and fassel clearing,
hope and [Bb] praise in waves [Dm]
defiled, slowly [Bb] disappearing, [Am] farewell [Dm]
Thunderchild, [Bb] slowly
[Bb] disappearing,
[Am]
[Dm]
[Bb] farewell Thunderchild,
[Dm]
Thunderchild, farewell [Bb]
Thunderchild.
[Dm] [Bb] When the smoke cleared, the little steamer had reached [Dm] the misty [Bb] horizon, and Carrie
was safe, but [Dm] the Thunderchild [Bb] had vanished forever, taking with her man's [Dm] last hope of
[Bb] victory, the leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and no one and
nothing was left now to fight them, the earth belonged to the martians.
