ttto: "I Saw Three Ships", trad.
with the Close Encounters of the Third Kind Fanfare by John Williams

/ G - / C D / 1st / C DG /

I saw three ships come sailing in
From the desert sky, from the desert sky
I saw three ships come sailing in
From the desert sky in the evening

I thought I heard them sing to me
{faint and high: A B G _G D}
I thought I heard them sing to me
In the desert sky in the evening

And whither sailed those ships all three
Through the desert sky, through the desert sky?
And whither sailed those ships all three
Through the desert sky in the evening?

They settled over Devil's Tor
From the desert sky, from the desert sky
They settled over Devil's Tor
From the desert sky in the evening

And all the bells on Earth shall ring
{A B G _G D}
And all the bells on Earth shall ring
In the desert sky in the evening

And aliens in Heaven shall sing
{LOUD: A B G _G D}
And aliens in Heaven shall sing
In the desert sky in the evening

Then some brave souls will sail away
To the desert sky, to the desert sky
Some few brave souls will sail away
To the desert sky in the evening
