When The Ship Comes In

INTRO: G    C  G  Bm  D  G

Oh, the time will come up when the 
C          G
winds will stop
        Em          C         
And the breeze will cease to be 
    G
a-breathing
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore
     C           G
 the hurricane begins
    Em            C          G
The hour when the ship comes in


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


N.C.    G                         C 
              G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they 
swim out of the path
        Em      C           G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling

                         C    
And the rocks on the sand will 
         G
proudly stand
    Em            C          G
The hour that the ship comes in


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

A    song will lift as the mainsail 
shifts
        Em   C             
And the boat drifts onto the 
  G
shoreline
                               C   
And the sun will respect every face
        G
 on the deck
    Em            C          G
The hour when the ship comes in


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