When My Ship Comes In Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Bad luck [G]calls,[C]
[G]bringing letters of rejec[D]tion
The day begins to sink
between [C]hope and de[G]jection
[C]Though [G]we fight this fight
with [B]all our might,
[C]may the best man win,
and [G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all.
[G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all
when my ship comes [G]in.
[C]Bad[G] luck never knocks[C],
[G]it just kicks down your [D]door.
And brings round all of its friends
to [C]sleep on your [G]floor[C][G]
It'll rise one day till it's [B]here to stay
[C]Through thick and thin, yeah
But [G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all
[G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all
My ship comes [G]in[C][G]
Now [D]I may get emotional,
or [G]I might have to c[C]ry[G]
And [Em]I might have to se[D]ll my soul
just to [C]watch that ship sail [D]by
Bad luck [G]lives [C]like [G]drunkards
round a [D]millionaire
When everything else is gone,
bad [C]luck will still [G]be [C]there.[G]
What a way to live,
[B]standing with the [C]same
old stupid dream.
Yeah, but [G]I'm gonna walk
away from it [D]all.
[G]I'm gonna walk away from [D]it all
when my ship comes [Em]in.[A]
[G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all,
[G]I'm gonna walk away from it [D]all,
[G]I'm gonna walk away from [D]it all
when my ship comes [G]in,
yeah when my ship [C]comes [G]in.
[D][G]
