Key: F
Introduction: F B F Dm B C F
F B F
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
Dm B F
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
B F
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
B C F
The hour that the ship comes in.
C B F
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
C B F
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
C B F
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
B F C F B C F
And the mornin' will be breakin'!
F B F
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Dm B F
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
B F
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
B C F
The hour that the ship comes in.
C B F
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
C B F
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
C B F
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
B F C F B C F
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean.
F B F
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
Dm B F
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
B F
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
B C F
The hour that the ship comes in.
C B F
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
C B F
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
C B F
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
B F C F B C F
That the whole wide world is watchin'!
F B F
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
Dm B F
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
B F
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
B C F
The hour that the ship comes in.
C B F
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
C B F
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
C B F
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
B F C F B C F
And like Goliath they'll be conquered!
