1. THE STORY BEHIND THE CAROL ............................................................................................................. 2
5. I SAW THREE SHIPS—VERSION 1 (BASIC VERSION), STANDARD NOTATION AND TAB .............................13
Over the passage of time, the Holy Family was substituted for the Magi as symbols for the "three ships"
in the lyrics. Others hypothesize the three ships are references to the Holy Trinity. Still others contend
the three ships are a reference to 1 Corinthians 13:13 (King James Version), "And now abideth faith,
hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
No matter the interpretation, it one of the most delightful and enduring Christmas carols of all time.

Fascinating facts about this Christmas song you are dying to know
To be honest, I never paid much attention to the lyrics of this carol. The words "I saw three ships" never
connected with me or aroused my curiosity. I just liked the energy and lilt of the melody. But it turns out
the background to the lyrics is fascinating.
The many variant texts of this carol can be attributed to the Mediterranean journeys of the "relics"
(skeletal remains--skulls, possibly nearly entire skeletons) of the Magi. Some historians say it was the
Empress Helena (Saint Helen), mother of Constantine the Great, who carried the relics to Constantinople
(Istanbul, Turkey) in the 4th century. They were taken to Milan by St. Eustathius in 344. They were finally
given to the Archbishop of Cologne, Germany in 1164.
A shrine to hold the relics was finished circa 1225. It is a large gilded and decorated triple sarcophagus or
casket:
Construction of the present Cologne Cathedral was begun in 1248 to house this important shrine
containing the relics. The cathedral took 632 years to complete and is now the largest Gothic church in
northern Europe. Have a look:
4
On July 20, 1864, the shrine was opened, and the remains and 2000-year-old clothes of the Three Kings
were examined. An eyewitness report of the time reads:
"In a special compartment of the shrine now there showed—along with remains of
ancient old rotten or moulded bandages, most likely byssus (a fine-textured linen of
ancient times, used by the Egyptians for wrapping mummies), besides pieces of aromatic
resins and similar substance—numerous bones of three persons, which under the
guidance of several present experts could be assembled into nearly complete bodies: the
one in his early youth, the second in his early manhood, the third was rather aged…"
One version of the carol includes these, in light of the above, amazing lines:
It is likely that in English versions of the song, the voyage to Cologne has been fused and confused with the idea
of the three ships symbolizing the magi (arriving at a landlocked Bethlehem!), and later the Holy Family.
6
The fingering choices in the Christmas song were made to keep the melody on the first string for an
even tone quality.
Speaking of harmonics, in the standard notation staves, I used diamond-shaped notes to indicate natural
harmonics. These diamond-shaped notes are NOT the pitches that come out of the guitar! They are
7
Remember, on the classical guitar, to get a clear and loud natural harmonics, always pluck the strings
1-3 inches from the bridge--not at the soundhole.
My special thanks goes to my wife, composer/guitarist Elizabeth Niedt for her valuable assistance with
this classical guitar arrangement.
