Hello, this is my first ever tab so I hope i didn't make any mistakes making this. It sounds good on acoustic.
I'm pretty sure most parts are correct or very close.
There is a riff that goes throughout the song you can play it or you can just play Am instead.

Intro
Am G Dm Am
riff C G
Verse 1
riff
Well they said there was nothing to worry about
C G
And they said there was no reason to shout
riff
But I saw the bulkheads cracking
C G
And for us there's no way out
riff
When we started on our journey
C G
No one ever could have foreseen
riff
Our desolate and lonely ending
C G
All I've got is helpless feeling
F G
But it doesn't take a genius to see
Chorus
Am G Dm Am
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
C G Am
And there's nothing we can do
C G Am
Our worst fears have now come true
C G Am
A few of us are struggling desperately
C G Am
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity
C C/B Am G
It's time to bail
Am riff C G
but I think it's too late
Verse 2
riff
All my cohorts think I'm crackers
C G
They've embroiled the local matters
riff
And despite obvious warning
C G
They won't heed my futile chatter
F G
But there's something they outta know
Chorus 2
Am G Dm Am
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
C G Am
The end is oh so near
C G Am
The others show no interest or fear
C G Am
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
C G Am
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity
C C/B Am G
It's time to bail,
Am
but I think it's too late
Bridge
Dm Am Dm Am C
Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times
G Am
But I'm joining in nicely?
Dm Am Dm Am C
Or are we too aware and simply too scared to accept destiny, our mortality
G E7
Our mortality, yeah
Chorus
Am G Dm Am
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
C G Am
And there's nothing we can do

Ship Without An Anchor chords – Oliver Pinder V2
I went to see Oliver the other night and now LOVE his music. I tried to work out the chords for this one and they sound good against a live recording I have so... Verse & Chorus: F , C , G Middle 8th: Am , F , C , G Verse: You'll come back when the tides gone You said you'd never go so you can't The sunset don't go down at dawn So wrap it up with a guitar and a song Chorus: Your just a ship without an anchor Your just a man without a spine And what ever you do there's no going back Because it is only the 27th of July Verse: He counts like 1,2,3 With achievements he never made Brought new friends for tea But you, you would never change You would always be his rock Chorus: Your just a ship without an anchor Your just a man without a spine And what ever you do there's no going back Because it is only the 27th of July Middle 8th: Oh Chorus:

When The Ship Comes In chords – Bob Dylan V3
G Bm
Oh the time will come up
C G
when the winds will stop
Em Bm G
and the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Bm
like the stillness in the wind
C G
before the hurricane begins
D7 G
The hour when the ship comes in
Chorus:
Bm
Oh the seas will split
C G
and the ship will hit
Bm G
and the sands on the shoreline will be shakin'
Bm
Then the tide will sound
C G
And the wind will pound
C/G G D7 Am7 G C/G G
and the morning will be brea-a-kin'.
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real
The hour when the ship comes in
Then they'll raise their hands
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
And like Pharoah's tribe
They'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
