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