Chords for I SAW THREE SHIPS – Bob Bennett

I think this is one of the most joyful carols of the Christmas season, but before I sing
it I always hasten to add that you would probably not want to make any important historical
or doctrinal decisions based on the lyric of this song.
[E] Nonetheless, _ I saw three ships. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas day, [B] on Christmas day. _
_ [E] I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas [B] day in the [E] morning. _ _ _ _ _
And who was in those ships [B] all three _ [E]
on Christmas [B] day, on Christmas day?
[E] Who was in those ships all three on Christmas [B] day in the [E] morning?
_ _ Our Savior [D] Christ and Mother [E] Mary _ on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
Our Savior Christ and His Lady _ on Christmas day in the _ [F#] morning.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ Pray, would the sail those ships all three _ [E] on Christmas day, [B] on Christmas day?
Over land and on the sea _ on Christmas day in [B] the [E] morning. _
Oh, [D] they sailed into [E] _ _ _
Bethlehem on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
The breath of God it carried them _ on Christmas day in the morning.
[F#] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Let all the angels in heaven [B] sing on [B] Christmas day, on Christmas _ [E] day.
While every bell on earth shall ring on Christmas day [B] in the [E] morning.
_ Let [F#] every living soul [E] _ rejoice on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
And [F#] join together [E] with one voice on Christmas day in the morning.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
Then [E] let us all give thanks again _ on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
_ Then let us all give thanks, Amen, on Christmas [B] day in the morning.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _
[E] On Christmas day in the _ _ morning. _ _ _ _ _ _
