When The Ship Comes In Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][Em][C]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,
[C]the[D] ti[G]me will come up
When [C]the winds [G]will stop
And the breeze will cease
[C]to be bre[G]athin'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the [C]hurricane be[G]gins
The hour [D]that the ship comes [G]in
[D]And the seas

[Verse 2]
will split
And [G]the ship will hit
[D]And the sands on the
shoreline will [G]be shaking
[D]Then the tide will sound
And the [G]wind will pound
And the morning [C]will be [D]breaking[G]

[Verse 3]
Oh, the [G]fishes will laugh
As [C]they swim out of the [G]path
And the seagulls [C]they'll [G]be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
[D]Will pro[C]udly sta[G]nd
The hour [D]that the ship comes [G]in[D][G]
[D]And the

[Verse 4]
words that are used
For to [G]get the ship confused
[D]Will not be understood as they're spo[G]ken
[D]For the chains of the sea
Will have [G]busted in the night
And will be buried at the [C]bottom of the [D]ocean
[G][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][C][D]
[G][D][G]
[C][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]A song will lift
[D]As [C]the mainsail shifts[G]
And the boat drift[C]s on to t[G]he shoreline
And the sun will respect
[D]Every [C]face on the [G]deck
The hour [D]that the ship comes [G]in
[D]Then the sands

[Verse 6]
will roll
Out a [G]carpet of gold
[D]For your weary toes to be [G]a- touchin'
[D]And the ship's wise men
Will re[G]mind you once again
That the whole wide [C]world is [D]watchin'

[Verse 7]
[G]
Oh, the foes will rise
With the sleep [C]still in their
eye[G]s
And they'll jerk from their [C]bed
s and [G]think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[D]And kno[C]w that it's for[G] real
The hour [D]when the ship comes [G]in[D][G]
[D]Then they'll

[Verse 8]
raise their hands
Sayin' we'll [G]meet all your demands
[D]But we'll shout from the bow
your days are [G]numbered
[D]And like Pharaoh's tribe
They'll be [G]drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, [C]they'll be [D]conquered
