G9 D9 C
G9 D9 C G9
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
Em7 C9 G9
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
D9 C G9
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
C9 G9
The hour that the ship comes in
D9 C G9
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
D9 C G9
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
D9 C G9
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
Em7 C9 D9 C G9
And the morning will be a-breaking
G9 D9 C G9
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Em7 C9 G9
And the seagulls they will be a-smilin'
D9 C G9
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
C9 G9
The hour that the ship comes in
D9 C G9
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
D9 C G9
Will not be understood as they're spoken
D9 C G9
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
Em7 C9 D9 C G9
And be buried on the bottom of the oooooocean
G9 C9 G9
Em7 C9 G9
D9 C G9
G9 D9 C G9
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
Em7 C9 G9
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
D9 C G9
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
C9 G9
The hour that the ship comes in
D9 C G9
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
D9 C G9
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
D9 C G9
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
Em7 C9 D9 C G9
That the whole wide world is waaaaatchin'

Verse: (no chords)
G9 D9 C G9
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
Em7 C9 G9
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
D9 C
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
G9
And they'll know that it's for real,
C9 G9
The hour that the ship comes in
D9 C G9
And they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
D9 C G9
But we'll shout from the bow, Your days are numbered
D9 C G9
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
Em7 C9 D9 C G9
And like Goliath they'll be cooooonquered
