When The Ship Comes In

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[C] th[G]e[C]
[G]time will come up
When the [C]winds [Am]will stop
[G]And the breeze wil[C]l cease
to [D]be breath[G]in'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the [C]hurricane begins
[Am]The [G]hour that [C]the ship comes[D] in[G]

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

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

[Verse 4]
And the [Em]words that are used
For to [C]get the ship confused
[G]Will not[Em] be unde[C]rstood
[D]as they're [G]spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have [C]busted [Am]in the night
And will be [G]buried at the bot
[C]tom of the [D]ocean[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]
A [G]song will lift
As the [C]mainsail shifts
[Am]And the boat[G] drifts on[C]
[D]to [G]the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every [C]face on [Am]the deck
[G]The hour that [C]the ship [D]comes [G]in

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

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

[Verse 8]
Then they'll [Em]raise their hands
Sayin' we'll [C]meet all your demand[G]s
But [Em]we'll shout from the bow
[C]your day[D]s are[G] numbered
And like Pharaoh's tribe
They'll [C]be drownded [Am]in the tide
And like Go[G]liath,
[C]they'll be [D]conquered[G]
