_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ The steamer began to move slowly away,
[D] but on the landward horizon appeared the silhouette of a fighting [Dm] machine.
_ Another came, and another, [Bb] striding over [Am] hills and trees,
plunging [Dm] far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer.
Between them lay the silent, [A] grey ironclad _ Thunderchild.
Slowly [Dm] it moved towards shore,
then with a deafening roar and [D] whoosh of spray,
[C] it [D] swung about and drove at [Gbm] full speed [Dm] towards the waiting marshals.
[D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ There were ships [C] of shapes and sizes,
[Dm] scattered out along the [C] bay,
and I thought I [Em] heard her calling,
as the [D] steamer pulled [Dm] away.
[Dm] The invaders must have [Am] seen them,
[Dm] as across the coast they _ piled, _
standing [Bb] from the steamer.

There lay _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ Thunderchild!
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Moving swiftly through the waters,
_ [Dm] cannons blazing as [C] she came,
[Dm] roars of mighty [Em] metal warlord,
[Gm] crashing down in sheets [Dm] of flame.
Sensing victory was [Am] nearing,
thinking fortunate [Dm] must have smiled,
_ [Am] people [Bb] started cheering.
_ _ [Am] _ _ 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.
_ Instantly the others raised their heat rays,
and melted the _ Thunderchild's valiant heart.

_ _ _ _ [C] Flashing ropes and smashing timbers,
[Dm] flashing heat rays [C] pierced the deck,
_ [F] dashing hopes for [Em] our deliverance.
As we [Gm] watched the [Bb] sinking [F] wreck,
[Am] with the smoke the battle clearing,
all [Bb] the graves and [Dm] ways defiled, _
slowly [Bb] _ disappearing.
_ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] Farewell, Thunderchild! _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Slowly disappearing. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Farewell, [Dm] Thunderchild! _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Farewell, Thunderchild! _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Dm] [Bb] When the smoke cleared,
the little steamer had reached the [Dm] misty [Bb] horizon,
and Carrie was safe.
_ But the Thunderchild had vanished forever,
taking with her man's last hope of 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. _ _ _
