Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
There  is a fire burning in the ocean,
With  death black smoke and devil  red flames,
You  can see it burning from the valley,
Oh  you can see it from the high  plains,
Oooh  x  3
While  they were drillin',
Searchin  for black gold,
To  add more dollars,
To  their  names,
Then  one evening,
So  suddenly  and violent,
There  was an explosion,
They  cant explain,
Oooh  x 3
 (Dallas Green with Tegan and Sara)
 Now the deep water horizon
 Desends down to deaths door
 And at the bird's foot,
 They lost all hope,
 Cause oil is driftin,
 For miles and miles,
 Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico,
 But of the eleven,
 Men at the bottom,
 Who sank to an underwater grave?
 And while they were sinking,
 And their lungs filled with oil,
 They must have been screaming,
 Screaming to be saved,
 Oooh (repeats until end of song)
 But of the eleven ,
 Men at the bottom,
 Who sank to an underwater grave?
 While they were sinking,
 Their lungs filling with oil,
 They must have been screaming,
 Screaming to be saved.

(Dallas Green with Tegan and Sara)
Now the deep water horizon
Desends down to deaths door
And at the bird's foot,
They lost all hope,

Cause oil is driftin,
For miles and miles,
Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico,

But of the eleven,
Men at the bottom,
Who sank to an underwater grave?

And while they were sinking,
And their lungs filled with oil,
They must have been screaming,
Screaming to be saved,

Oooh (repeats until end of song)

But of the eleven ,
Men at the bottom,
Who sank to an underwater grave?

While they were sinking,
Their lungs filling with oil,
They must have been screaming,
Screaming to be saved.
