WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN
G C G
1. Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
Em C G
And the breeze will cease to be breathing
C G
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins
D7 G
The hour that the ship comes in.
G C G
And the seas will split and the ship will hit
Em C G
and the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
C G
and the tide will sound and the waves will pound
C D7 G
and the morning will be breaking.
2. Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of thepath
and the seagulls they'll be a-smiling
and the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
the hour that the ship comes in.
And the words that are used for to get the shipconfused
will not be understood as they're spoken
for the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
and be buried on the bottom of the ocean.
3. Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
and the boat drifts unto the shoreline
and the sun will respect every face on the deck
the hour that the ship comes in.
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touching
and the ship's wise men will remind you once again
that the whole wide world is watching.
4. Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in theireyes
and they'll jerk from their beds and think they'redreaming
and they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'llknow that it's for real
the hour that the ship comes in
5. Then they'll raise their hands saying we'll meet allyour demands
but we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
and like pharaoh's tribe they'll be drowned in the tide
like the lion they'll be conquered.
