When The Ship Comes In

Key: G

Introduction:  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
