[F] [Bb] [F]
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Oh, the time will come up [Bb] when the wind [F] will stop [Dm] And the [Bb] breeze will cease [F] to be breathing
Like the stillness in the wind, [Bb] for the [F] hurricane begins The hour that the ship comes in
[Am] Oh, the seas will split [Bb] and the ship [F] will hit And the [Bb] sand on the [F] shoreline will be shaking
And the tide will sound and [Gm] the wave [F] will pound And the morning will [C] be
[F] breaking
[Bb] [F] Oh, the fishes will laugh [Bb] as they swim [F] out of the path And [Dm] the [Bb] seagulls, [F] they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand The hour that [Bb] the ship [F] comes in
[Am] And the words that are [Bb] used for to get the [F] ship confused [Am] Will not be [Bb] understood [F] as they're spoken
For the [Am] chains of the sea [Bb] will have busted [F] in the night And be buried on the bottom [C] of the [Bb]
[F] ocean
[Bb] [F] Oh, the sun will lift [Bb] as the [F] mainsail shifts [Dm] And the boat [Gm] moves on [F] to the shoreline
And the sun will respect [Bb] every face [F] on the deck The hour [Bb] that the ship [F] comes in
[Am] The sands will roll [Bb] out a carpet [F] of gold For your weary [Bb] toes to [F] be at the chin
And the ship's [Am] wise men [Bb] will remind you [F] once again That the whole [Bb] wide world [C] is [Bb]
[F] watching
Oh, the foes will rise with [Bb] a seat in [F] their [Dm] eyes And they'll jerk [Bb] from their beds [F] and think they're dreaming
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal [Bb] And they'll know that [F] it's for real
The [Bb] hour that the ship [F] comes in [Am] And they'll raise their hands [Bb] saying,
We'll [F] meet all your demands But [Am] we'll shout from [Bb] the bow your name [F] through numbers
And like Pharaoh's [Bb] tribe they'll be [F] drowned in the fighting Like the lions, [Bb] [C] we'll be [Bb] caught
[C] [F] [Bb] [F]
