I was drifting
[D] away from [G] life's pitiless sea, [D] and the angry waves threatened [G] my ruin to be.
With a weight at [D] my side, [G] where I dare me to strike, [D] I was gaining [A] old vessel, and loudly
[D] I cried, [G] ship ahoy, [D] ship ahoy, [Bm] and [Em] loudly [C] I [D] cried, [G] ship ahoy.
Was the old ship [D] of Zion, [G] the sailing along, [D] of birds in joy [G] and strife, her lips he saw,
and the [D] captain's kind, and [G] were ready to leave, but [D] loudly and long [A]-constrained as I
cried, [D]
ship [G] ahoy, [D] ship ahoy.
[Bm] [Em] I cried [C] out, [D]
ship [G] ahoy, ship ahoy, and loudly I cried, ship ahoy, ship ahoy.
The good dam in [D] the land, [G] it upholds me, Lord, and [D] within her compassion [G] he took me on.
But now he's [D] leaving, [G] all my sins washed away, in [D] the blood of [A] my saviour and [D] mine.
[G] Bless the Lord, [D] bless the Lord, from [G] my soul [C] I can say, [D] [G] bless the Lord.
