When the Ship Comes In (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - October 1992) chords
Start Jamming...
Oh, the time [Abm] will come up [A] when the winds [E] will stop
And [Dbm] the breeze will [E] cease to be breathing
Like the stillness [Abm] in the wind before [A] the hurricane [E] begins
The hour that the ship comes in
[Abm] And the sea will slay [E] and the ship will [E] hit
And the sands of [A] the shoreline will be shaken
And the [Abm] tide will sound [A] and the waves [E] will pound
And the [B] morning will be [E] breaking
Oh, the [Abm] pitters will laugh [E] as they swim out of the path
[Abm] And the seagulls, they will [E] be smiling
And the rocks on the [A] sand will [E] proudly stand
The hour [B] that a ship [E] comes in
[Abm] And the words that are used [A] for to get the [E] ship [Abm] unfused
Will not be [A] understood [E] as they're spoken
For the [Abm] chains on the sea [A] will have busted [E] in the night
And be buried [Dbm] on the bottom [B] of the
[E] ocean
Oh, the song will lift [A] as the [E] mainsail shifts
[Dbm] And the [A] portraits on [E] to the shoreline
And the sun [Abm] will respect [A] every face [E] on the deck
The hour [B] that the ship [E] comes in
And the sand will roll [A] out a carpet [B] of gold
[Abm] For your [A] weary toes [E] to be touching
And [Abm] the ships wide men [B] will remind you [E] once again
That the whole [A] wide world [B] is
[E] watching
[Abm] [A] [E]

Oh, the folk [Abm] will rise with [A] the sea still in their [Dbm] eyes
And they'll jerk off their beds and think [E] they're dreaming
But they'll pinch themselves [Abm] and squeal and [A] they'll know that it's [E] for real
The hour [B] that a ship [E] comes in
Then they'll [Abm] raise their hands, they [B] will heed all [E] your demands
[Abm] But we'll shout [E] from the bow your days are numbered
And like failed strife they'll be drowned in the tide
Like a lion [Db] they'll [B] be [E] hung
[Em] Bless [N]
you all, thank you!
