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