When The Ship Comes In

Intro: G

       G             D
Oh the time will come up
         C           G
When the winds will stop
        Em          C           G
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
         G                D
Like the stillness in the wind
          C          G
'fore the hurricane begins
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in

       D          C
Oh the seas will split
         G
And the ship will hit
          D            C                 G
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
         D           C
Then the tide will sound
         G
And the wind will pound
          D             C      G
And the morning will be breaking

         G          D
Oh the fishes will laugh
           C            G
As they swim out of the path
           Em       C        G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
         G           D
And the rocks on the sand

C            G
Will proudly stand
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in

         D               C
And the words that are used
       G
For to get the ship confused
      D              C          G
Will not be understood as they're spoken
        D             C
For the chains of the sea
          G
Will have busted in the night
              D                         C   G
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean

  G         D
A song will lift
       C           G
As the mainsail shifts
         Em       C                G
And the boat that drifts on to the shore line
       G          D
And the sun will respect
      C           G
Every face on the deck
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in

           D         C
Then the sands will roll
         G
Out a carpet of gold
         D        C         G
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
D                     C
And the ship's wise men
           G
Will remind you once again
         D                   C     G
That the whole wide world is watchin'

         G          D
Oh the foes will rise
          C                   G
With the sleep still in their eyes
             Em             C                      G
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
            G                    D
But they'll pinch themselves and squeel
      C                G
And know that it's for real
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in

               D           C
Then they'll raise their hands
             G
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
          D              C                 G
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
         D         C
And like pharaoh's tribe
           G
They'll be drownded in the tide
          D                 C       G
And like goliath they'll be conquered
