Misc Traditional – I Will Put My Ship In Order (Guitar)

C               F          C
I drew my ship into the harbour,

         Am                          G
I drew across to where my true love lay.

F                       C
I drew  close to her window

Am                     G       C
To listen to what my love did say.

F                                    C
Who's there that knocks loud at my window?

   Am                              G
Who knocks so loud and would come in?

F                                    C
It is your true love who loves you dearly,

Am                         G      C
so come ye down love, and let me in.

C           F              C
And I will put my ship in order

Am                        G
And I will sail upon the sea

F                           C
And I will come to yonder harbour

Am                 G               C
where my true love, she waits for me

C               F            C
Then slowly, slowly she rose up

Am                            G
And slowly, slowly she came down

F                               C
But before she got, her door unlocked

Am                        G        C
Her true love, had both come and gone.

C           F              C
And I will put my ship in order

Am                        G
And I will sail upon the sea

F                           C
And I will come to yonder harbour

Am                 G                 C
where my true love, she waits for on me

F                                  C
Come back, come back, my own true love

Am                                G
Come back, come back, come to my side

 F                               C
I never grieved you, nor yet deceived you                   

Am                 G           C
And someday soon I'll be your bride.

F                                     C
The fish shall fly, and the seas run dry

Am                                G
and the rocks shall melt wae the sun

F                                   C
and laboring men will cease their labor

Am                    G         C
Before  I come back, this way again

C           F              C
And I will put my ship in order

Am                        G
And I will sail upon the sea

F                           C
And I will come to yonder harbour

Am                 G                 C
where my true love, she waits for on me
