When My Ship Comes In
Recorded by Ferlin Husky
Written by Phil Earhart and Harlan Sanders
 
C
I don't know why you stayed with me so long
                                         F
When all the other loves I've known have walked away
G7
Don't know why you're standing by my side
                                     C   G7
When you know all the reasons not to stay
 
    C                                                    F
And yet instead of leaving you go right on believing someday I will
C                             G7           F          C  F
Life will be better than it's been when my ship comes in
C
When my ship comes in we'll climb aboard together
                                       F
And the hard times will be much softer then
      G7
As we let the high tide take us to that distant shore 
               C     G7
Where paradise begins
 
C                                                             F
You'll be there beside me to count the sails a-blowing in the wind
C                            G7            F          C
You won't have to do without again when my ship comes in
                                                              F
You'll be there beside me to count the sails a-blowing in the wind
C                            G7            F          C
You won't have to do without again when my ship comes in
 
F       C
When my ship comes in (when my ship comes in)
F       C
When my ship comes in (when my ship comes in)
