I heard about the Titan going down to see a ship
         F                        C                    G
They failed, but if you do it right the concept's really slick
       C
So I looked at all the pictures and I chose to build my own,
           F                       C                        G                         C
‘Cause you can build a submarine from things you find at home

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F
	They hinder innovation and they never want it known
	         F                       C                       G                          C
	That you can build a submarine from things you find at home

      C
A titanium and carbon fiber hull was quick to sink
     F                       C                  G
I'd need to make it lighter or I'd end up in the drink
C
Carbon fiber filament is cheap to buy online
     F                 C                    G                    C
My 3D printed hull you see is looking rather fine

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F
	They hinder innovation and they never want it known
	         F                       C                       G                          C

I needed a controller, the Logitech worked well
      F                      C                        G
But when I went to buy online there wasn't one for sale
      C
So I looked about the attic and I found my dad's old stuff
F                        C            G                   C
Figured that the old Atari joystick was enough

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F
	They hinder innovation and they never want it known
	         F                       C                       G                          C

I knew a proper navigation system was a must
       F                    C                                  G
The Titan's simple texting scheme turned out to be a bust
  C
I took a couple soup cans and a string that's rather long
      F                        C                            G                   C
My mate can tell me when to turn while beating me at Pong

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F
	They hinder innovation and they never want it known
	         F                       C                       G                          C

  C
I finally sought a captain's seat to sit on at the front
       F              C                 G
The Titan only had a teeny toilet for your butt
    C
In order for my submarine to wash the rest away
  F                    C            G                     C
I used a proper privy— equipped with a bidet!

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F
	They hinder innovation and they never want it known
	         F                       C                       G                          C
	That you can build a submarine from things you find at home

      C
I've tested my creation at the lake out in the woods
  F                       C                G
I think it's finally ready to support my livelihood
       C
The systems have some issues and the steering really sucks
      F                   C                      G                   C
But I'll be selling tickets soon for half a million bucks

	    C
	Oh, Naval Group and ThyssenKrupp and General D and BAE
	F                     C                   G
	All these manufacturers can get out of my way
	     C                                                             F

	Yes, you can build a submarine from things you find at home
