When The Ship Comes In chords and lyrics - THE CHIEFTAINS AND THE DECEMBERISTS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh the time will come up
When [C]the winds will stop
[G]And the[Em] breeze will
[C]cease to be [G]breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before [C]the hurricane begin[G]s
The hour when [D]the ship comes [G]in

[Verse 2]
Oh, [Bm]the seas will split
And the ship [C]will [G]hit and
[Em]the sands on the
[C]Shoreline will [G]be shakin'
And the tide will sound
And the wind[C]s will p[G]ound
And the morning [C]will [G]be [D]a-breakin'
[G]Oh Oh the fishes will laugh
As [C]they swim out of [G]the path
And [Em]the seagulls [C]they'll be [G]smilin'
And the rocks on the sand
will [C]proudly [G]stand
The hour that [D]the ship comes [G]in

[Verse 3]
And the [Bm]words that are used
For to get [C]the ship con[G]fused
Will [Em]not be unders[C]tood
as they [G]are spoken
For the chains of the [D]sea
Will have bus[C]ted in [G]the night
And be buried at [C]the bottom
[D]of the ocean
[G]

[Verse 4]
A song will [D]lift [G]as [C]the mainsail [G]shifts
And [Em]the boat drifts [C]out onto [G]the shoreline
And the sun will respect
[D]Every [C]face on [G]the deck
The hour [D]that the ship comes [G]in

[Verse 5]
And [Bm]the sands will roll out a [C]carpet [G]of gold
For your [Em]weary [C]toes to be a-touchin'
[G]And And the ship's wise [D]men
Will re[C]mind you once [G]again
That the whole wide [C]world [D]is watch

[Verse 6]
Oh the [G]foes will rise
With [C]the sleep still in their [G]eyes
And they'll [Em]jerk from their bed[C]s
And think they're [G]dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and [D]squeal
And [C]they'll know that it's for [G]real
The hour [D]that the ship comes [G]in

[Verse 7]
And they'll [Bm]raise their hands
Sayin' [C]"We'll meet
all your demand[G]s"
But [Em]we'll shout from the bow
[C]"Your days are[G] numbered"
And like the pharaoh's tribe
[D]They'll [C]be drownded in the tide
[G]Like Goliath the[C]y'll be [D]conquered
