I Saw Three Ships

  G         D          G       D7
I saw three ships come sailing in,
   G                 D7
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
  G          D         G7      Am
I saw three ships come sailing in,
   G         A7         D7  G
On Christmas Day in the morning.


    G        D        G         D7
And what was in those ships all three,
   G                 D7
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    G        D        G7        Am
And what was in those ships all three,
   G         A7         D7  G
On Christmas Day in the morning.



    G      D          G     D7
Our Savior Christ and his lady,
   G                 D7
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    G      D          G7    Am
Our Savior Christ and his lady,
   G         A7         D7  G
On Christmas Day in the morning.



    G      D        G           D7
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
   G                 D7
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    G      D        G7          Am
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
   G         A7         D7  G
On Christmas Day in the morning.



     G      D     G      D7
Then let us all rejoice amain,
   G                 D7
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
     G      D     G7     Am
Then let us all rejoice amain,
   G         A7         D7  G
On Christmas Day in the morning.

I Saw Three Ships

I saw three ships come sail-ling in,
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
I saw three ships come sail-ling in,
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

And what was in those ships all three?
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
And what was in those ships all three?
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

Our Sav-iour, Christ, and His La-dy.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
Our Sav-iour, Christ, and His La-dy.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

Pray, whi-ther sailed those ships all three?
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
Pray, whi-ther sailed those ships all three?
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

O, - they sailed to Beth-le-hem.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
O, - they sailed to Beth-le-hem.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

And all the bells on earth shall ring.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
And all the bells on earth shall ring.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

And all the an-gels in hea-ven shall sing.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
And all the an-gels in hea-ven shall sing.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

And all the souls on earth shall sing.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
And all the souls on earth shall sing.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.

Then let us all re-joice and sing.
On Christ-mas Day, - on Christ-mas Day,
Then let us all re-joice and sing.
On Christ-mas Day in the morn-ing.-
