Lyrics with chords

C I saw three ships come G7 sailing C in

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day;

I C saw three ships come G7 sailing C in

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning.

And what was in those G7 ships all C three,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day?

And C what was in those G7 ships all C three,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning?

Our Saviour Christ and G7 his C lady,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day;

Our C Saviour Christ and G7 his C lady,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning.

Pray whither sailed those G7 ships all C three,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day?

Pray C whither sailed those G7 ships all C three,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning?

O they sailed into G7 BethleC hem,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day;

O C they sailed into G7 BethleC hem,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning.

And all the bells on G7 earth shall C ring,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day;

And C all the bells on G7 earth shall C ring,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning.

Then let us all reG7 joice aC main,

On Christmas day, on G7 Christmas day;

Then C let us all reG7 joice aC main,

On Christmas day G7 in the C morning.
