When The Ship Comes In Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro G C G D G C D G

 Oh the Gtime will Dcome up when the Cwinds will Gstop

 And the Embreeze will Ccease to be a-Gbreathin

 Like the Gstillness in the Dwind before the Churricane beGgins,

 The Dhour that the ship comes Gin

 And the Dsea will Csplit and the Gships will hit

 And the Dsands on the Cshoreline will be Gshaking

 And the Dtide will Csound and the Gwaves will pound

 And the morning Cwill be aD-breakGing

Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path

And the seagulls will be a-smilin'

And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand

The hour that the ship comes in

And the words that are used for to get the ship confused

Will not be understood as they're spoken

Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night

And be buried on the bottom of the ocean

A song will lift as the main sail shifts

And the boat drifts unto the shoreline

And the sun will respect every face on the deck

The hour that the ship comes in

And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold

For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'

And the ship's wise men will remind you once again

That the whole wide world is watchin'

Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes

And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'

But they'll pinch themselves and squeal

And they'll know that it's for real,

The hour that the ship comes in

And they'll raise their hands

Sayin' we'll meet all you demands

But we'll shout from the bow

Your days are numbered

And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide

And like Goliath they'll be conquered
