[G] [C]
[G] [C]
Oh, [G] the time will come up [C] when the winds [Am] will stop
And [G] the breeze [C] will cease [D] to be a [G]-breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind [C] before the hurricane [Am] begins
[G] The hour [C] when the [D] ship [G] comes in
[Em] And the sea will split [C] and the ships will [G] hit
[Em] And the [C] shoreline's sands will [G] be a-shakin'
And the tide will sound [C] and the waves [Am] will pound
[G] And the morning [C] will [D] be
[G] [Am] breaking
[G] Oh, the fishes will laugh [C] as they swim [Am] out of the path
[G] And the [C] [D] seagulls will [G] be a-smilin'
[C] [G]
And the rocks on the sand [C] will proudly [Am] stand
[G] The hour [C] that the [D] ship [G] comes in
[Em] And the words that are used for to [C] get the [G] ship confused
[Em] Will not be [C] understood [G] as they're spoken
Oh, the chains of the sea [C] will have busted [Am] in the night
[G] And they're buried [C] at the bottom [D] of the [G] ocean
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Yes, the song will lift [C] as the [Am] mainsail shifts
[G] And the boat [C] drifts [D] out [G] to the shoreline
And the sun will rise back, [C] every face [Am] on deck
[G] The hour [C] that the [D] ship [G] comes in
[G] [Em] And the sands will [C] roll out a [G] carpet of gold
[Em] For your weary [C] souls to [G] be touching
And the ship's wise men [C] will remind you once [Am] again
[G] That the whole [C] wide world [D] is [G] watching
The foals will rise [C] with sleep still [Am] in their eyes
[G] And they'll jerk from [C] their [D] beds and think [G] they're dreamin'
And they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[C] And they'll know that it's for real
[G] The hour [C] when the [D] ship [G] comes in
Then [Em] they'll raise their hands, sayin'
[C] We'll meet all your [G] demands
And [Em] we'll shout from the [C] mouth, your days [G] are numbered
And like Pharaoh's triumph, they'll [C] get drownded in the [Am] tide
And their whole [G] life [C] will [D] be [G] conquered
[C] [G] [C]
