I play it like this:

Titanic (Midnight On The Sea) - Lead Belly

'Twas [C] midnight on the [C7] sea, 
Band was playing, [F] "Nearer My God to [C] Thee" 
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee [G7] well
'Twas [C] midnight on the [C7] sea, 
Band was playing, [F] "Nearer My God to [C] Thee" 
Fare thee, Ti[G7]tanic, fare thee [C] well
 
Titanic, when it got its load,
Captain hollered, "All aboard"
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

Jack Johnson went to get on board,
Captain hollered, "I ain't haulin' no coal."
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

Titanic's comin' 'round the curve,
When it ran into that great big iceberg
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

Titanic was sinking down,
They put lifeboats all around.
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

Put lifeboats around,
Save the women and children, let the men go down.
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

Jack Johnson got the mighty shock,
Might 'a' seen him do the Eagle Rock.
Tare thee, Titanic, fare thee well 

When the women and children got on the land,
Cried "Lord have mercy on my man.
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well

'Twas midnight on the sea, 
Band was playing, "Nearer My God to Thee" 
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well
